White Sox Name Will Venable as New Manager

The Chicago White Sox have selected Will Venable as their new manager following a historically poor 41-121 season, marking the worst in modern MLB history. Venable, previously the associate manager for the Texas Rangers, brings extensive coaching experience, having served as a bench coach for the Boston Red Sox and earlier with the Chicago Cubs. This appointment aims to restore credibility to the White Sox franchise, which has seen frequent managerial changes in recent years. Venable, who has been linked to several managerial positions, including the Marlins, was a top candidate due to his leadership skills and international experiences, having played in the major leagues for nine seasons. The decision comes after the firing of Pedro Grifol and interim management by Grady Sizemore, as the team looks to significantly improve its performance in the upcoming season.
