The Chicago White Sox and manager Rick Renteria have agreed to part ways, the team announced Monday. Renteria spent the past four seasons as the White Sox's manager, finishing with a 236-309 record. He guided Chicago to a 35-25 record this past season and the franchise's first postseason appearance since 2008. The White Sox lost 2-1 to the Oakland Athletics in the wild-card round. In Renteria's first three seasons, the White Sox were 67-95, 62-100 and 72-89. But they signed several big-name free agents this past offseason and signaled that they were ready to compete. Among their additions were Yasmani Grandal, Dallas Keuchel, Edwin Encarnacion and Gio Gonzalez. After a slow start, they led the AL Central for much of the abbreviated season but finished the regular season on a down note. They went 3-12 in their last 15 games and lost home-field advantage for the playoffs.
