The?Chicago White Sox?are not expected to retain Robin Ventura as manager and will replace him with bench coach Rick Renteria, according to multiple reports.The Chicago Sun-Times?was first to report news of the White Soxs intended move.Ventura is completing the final year of a deal that began before the start of the 2012 season.In an odd scene after Chicagos 6-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night, general manager Rick Hahn declined interview requests, and White Sox players claimed they hadnt heard about the report or Venturas status.Weve been over this, Ventura said after the game. Ill talk at the end of the year.Hahn relayed a message through a team spokesman that he would answer questions at a news conference Monday scheduled by the team.You guys are telling me something I havent even heard about, third baseman Todd Frazier said, adding that I love Robin. I love him to death. Hes a good manager, for sure.Right-hander James Shields, who gave up two-run homers to Byron Buxton and Jorge Polanco to lose his major-league-high-tying 19th game, had high praise for the 49-year-old Ventura.Hes one of the better managers Ive been around, and Ive been around some really good ones, Shields said. To be honest with you, thats the first time Im hearing this. But Robin is a good man, a good manager.Earlier this season, Ventura said he wanted to return in 2017 despite a fourth straaight losing season and five years without a playoff berth.ddddddddddddBut Ventura then backtracked on that statement after USA Today reported Wednesday that the front office wanted to retain him, but Ventura hadnt committed.Ventura sidestepped numerous questions about the issue after the game Saturday and said he hadnt discussed his future with the players.No, I havent talked to them about anything. Were still playing, Ventura said. All the conversations I have with them are about playing.Frazier praised the 54-year-old Renteria, who went 73-89 in one season with the Cubs in 2014. The White Sox hired him before this season.Ricks a great guy, man, Frazier said. Hes bilingual, which is great. Hes been a manager before. But like I said, its not my right to say anything. I havent heard anything, and thats basically up to our brass, so Im not going to get in trouble.Saturdays listless defeat continued a theme of inconsistency surrounding this seasons team, which started 23-10. The White Sox are 55-73 since.I feel bad that I wasnt able to do more for him. I know guys in here feel the same way, catcher Alex Avila said. We were a team that was expected to win coming into spring training, and we didnt do that.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
