Do you see the Diamondbacks or Marlins trophies in their introductory videos? Serious question. It turns out that's Venable's house, Bochy got replica trophies made for the coaches after they won last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think there’s any IF about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted November 5, 2024 Share Posted November 5, 2024 7 minutes ago, Autumn Dreamin said: Venable's replacement as Rangers manager-in-waiting? Sure sounds like it. Venable probably caught wind of this and decided to seriously pursue a manager job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serving as the front-facing figurehead of a functional organization is a much more typical ask for this job. The White Sox have many miles to go to convince the public that they are such an organization, but Venable’s hire is supposed to be just a signal, rather than the solution.” Seems like a shot at Grifol/Haber, haha.

A chosen screengrab of a 15 minute press conference can tell you that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
