White Sox Opening Day: Watch manager Rick Renteria discuss a new season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Rick Renteria enters his second season managing the White Sox and is clearly ready to get to work for real in 2018.

“Guys are feeling just a little bit more comfortable in their own skins,” Renteria said before the Sox faced the Kansas City Royals on Thursday afternoon. “They are gaining confidence and trust in each other. I think we left camp with a pretty focused group.”

Renteria said what any good manager would say: “This is the first of 162 and, hopefully, beyond.”

Renteria’s Sox are coming off a 67-95 season.
