I'd like to see multiple candidates interviewed. The first choice I can think of that would likely be approved by The Chairman would be Sandy Alomar Jr.- He played for the Sox, so he's a known quantity.
- He knows the Central Division and has worked for a successful manager.
- He's never had a big-league job, which seems to be a checkbox for this organization.
- He's a former catcher so I would think/hope he'd have a better grasp on handling pitchers than Renteria or Ventura have.
- He's from Puerto Rico, so there would be no issues with language or culture in working with the young Latin players in the system.
I think Renteria is a likeable guy and the players seem to like him. But for me, how he managed the series against Cleveland and the A's left me with no confidence in him leading the team to the next level.“It's not the high price of stardom that bothers me...it's the high price of mediocrity." - Bill Veeck

Yeah unfortunately I think for RR to get fired, the 2021 White Sox need to seriously underperform expectations."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

This isn't a popular opinion, but I say bring Ozzie in.
Unless the chairman relents and hires him, I doubt that he ever finds a team to hire him as a manager.
Just my opinion, but I'd like to see the Sox interview manages with a track record, whether or not they had a cup of coffee with the team.
I do like Alomar, and he seems like he's got a good head for the game.

It would be nice to see the Sox be proactive about a problem.

I'm not thrilled with RR coming back, but I think things could be worse, and I don't really know who I would want to replace him. If you read any of the Cleveland boards, their hate for Alomar when he was the interim manager was at the same level as the hate for RR here. There's no Joe Maddon/Terry Francona manager with a significant history of success available as far as I know.

Let's face it. Regardless of how Sox fans may feel, there is no way Renteria is being replaced this off season. He will be managing the White Sox when the 2021 season begins.
I'll take a pass on Ozzie. As pointed out in a previous post, he begged out of his contract with the Chairman a few years ago and then let his mouth get him in hot water in Miami. There are reasons why he hasn't even gotten a sniff for a managerial job since then.
Alomar would be a solid candidate. But as also pointed out in a previous post, I believe he will be running the Indians next year based on Francona's uncertain health situation.
