Chicago White Sox Appoint Will Venable as New Manager, Sources Confirm
The Chicago White Sox have made a major move in their coaching staff, hiring Will Venable as their new manager, according to sources from the Associated Press.
Venable, a former MLB player who spent nine seasons in the league with the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, and Los Angeles Dodgers, will take over the reins of the White Sox as they look to build on their successful 2021 season.
The 39-year-old Venable has been working as a coach in the Chicago Cubs organization since 2018, serving as their third-base coach in 2021. He brings a wealth of playing experience and knowledge of the game to his new role with the White Sox.
The decision to hire Venable comes after the White Sox parted ways with former manager Tony La Russa, who led the team to a division title in 2021 but was unable to advance past the ALDS in the postseason.
Fans of the White Sox are sure to be excited about the hiring of Venable, as he brings a fresh perspective and energy to the team. With a talented roster that includes stars like Tim Anderson, Jose Abreu, and Eloy Jimenez, the White Sox will be looking to make a deep postseason run under Venable’s leadership.
