ANALYSIS: Ventura’s unwillingness to talk extension misleading

GLENDALE, Ariz. – In his first season as manager, Robin Ventura led the White Sox to the brink of the playoffs with 85 wins, only to fall short during the final week of the season.

It makes sense the Sox would be interested in keeping Ventura beyond his current three-year contract, which ends after the 2014 season.

It’s odd that he didn’t jump at the chance when general manager Rick Hahn broached the idea during the offseason. Hahn offered, Ventura declined.
