Chris Sale and Rick Renteria solely spent one season along with the White Sox. But in that point, Renteria left a reasonably optimistic impression on Sale. “He’s a great baseball mind, he’s a great person. I think he’s a guy that can get anybody in that clubhouse or anybody in any clubhouse to buy in to something,” Sale stated. “He’s a fun guy to be around, but he’s that no-BS (type).
