Late Tuesday night Scott Merkin reported that Will Venable will become the next White Sox manager. We have instant reaction and things to look for next as it looks like Chris Getz fought hard to get his guy. State Senator Bill Cunningham also gives us a new perspective on the White Sox stadium issues and how the legislature views Jerry Reinsdorf's latest maneuvers. Are you ready for shocking trades? You better be because they seem necessary this offseason.
