In some cases, it is easy to blame the person in charge for letting things fall apart, but in some cases that is unfair. Like in the case of the 2014 Chicago Cubs. They finished 73-89 placing dead last in the NL Central. Who was given the blame? Manager Rick Renteria.
He was not even given a chance to show to the extent of what he can do with a contending team as he was fired after that season. Many can agree that Renteria was not the problem of the 2014 Cubs. But in the case of the Chicago White Sox and their decade of struggles, you can blame the person in charge: owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
