White Sox manager Will Venable started the season with a 4-11 record, improving from last year's 2-13. Despite the team's poor performance, players praise Venable's leadership, highlighting his communication skills and calm demeanor through adversity. His hiring was well-received, and he is seen as capable of establishing a positive culture in the rebuilding process led by General Manager Chris Getz. Unlike his predecessor Pedro Grifol, who faced severe criticism during his tenure, Venable is fostering a more cohesive team environment, crucial as the White Sox navigate their struggles this season.
Venable is earning plaudits for how he's guiding the Sox through similar stretches, including a winless first road trip that was part of a larger eight-game skid.
He's been great. He's a great communicator, a great baseball mind. I really like how even-keeled he is. He still was preaching the process.
