Padres announcer Dick Enberg is also retiring after the season. Between Scully and Enberg leaving, West Coast will certainly have a new sound in the future.

Out with the old and in with the new

As the Chicago White Sox wrapped up their season, manager Robin Ventura said he would not be returning for a sixth season. Bench coach Rick Renteria has been named the new manager.

The Colorado Rockies also announced their manager Matt Weiss has decided to step down after four seasons. The team may consider hiring Glenallen Hill who served as the Rockies triple A manager for the past two seasons.

The Wild Card games begin this week
