Robin Ventura 'absolutely' wants to return as White Sox manager

Robin Ventura “absolutely” wants to return to the dugout in 2016 even after a season in which the team hasn’t met expectations.

Though he expects to be evaluated by general manager Rick Hahn along with everyone else, Ventura, who is under contract for another year, said Tuesday he intends to be back for a fifth season as the White Sox manager.

Ventura reiterated Tuesday his belief that because of its pitching the club is a playoff-caliber team that has been felled by a poor offense. Back in February, Ventura said he expected the White Sox to make the playoffs.
