White Sox’ culture change something that can last-Chicago Sun-Times
Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times writes about the culture change the White Sox experienced last season. Sox manager Rick Renteria‘s energy was strong to start last year, and it carried over into the regular season. The team is entering its second rebuilding year and aren’t projected to have a winning record, but should be fun to watch for fans again as they were in 2017.
