CHICAGO -- Robin Ventura will possibly manage his final game for the White Sox -- and Chris Sale will audition one last time for the American League Cy Young Award -- on Sunday afternoon against the Minnesota Twins.The White Sox are expected to replace Ventura with bench coach and former Chicago Cubs manager Rick Renteria, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday night.Ventura has a record of 375-434 in five seasons and is in the final year of his contract. The White Sox are 78-83 this season, fourth in the AL Central.Ill talk at the end of the year, Ventura said after his team lost 6-0 to the Twins on Saturday. There can be whatever (report) out there.Meanwhile, Sale could set a career high for victories in a season with his 18th. The left-hander picked up his 17th victory Tuesday, when he struck out seven and held Tampa Bay to three runs in seven innings.Were not doing it for numbers or anything, but he wants to throw, Ventura said. I think thats part of his commitment to being a teammate and all that stuff. So well have a pretty good lineup out there.In the league, Sale is tied for third in strikeouts (227), tied for fourth in victories, fourth in opponents average (.225) and ninth for ERA (3.21). He leads the majors with six complete games.It would be very easy for him to just say hes had enough and not pitch, Ventura said. I think thats a good testament to finishing out the year and doing it right.Sale has finished in the top six in AL Cy Young voting every season from 2012-15. He also reached 17 victories in 2012 during his first season as a starter.I feel as good now as I ever have on a baseball field, physically, Sale said after his last start. This year was the best overall in terms of feeling strong at the end and still having more in the tank.Sale is 8-5 with a 4.05 ERA in 23 games (15 starts) against the Twins.Other candidates for the AL Cy Young include Bostons Rick Porcello, Clevelands Corey Kluber, Baltimores Zach Britton, Torontos J.A.Happ and Detroits Justin Verlander.The White Sox and Twins are closing out disappointing seasons. Chicago went 55-73 after beginning the season 23-10 -- the second-best mark in the majors on May 9. The White Sox are posting their fourth straight losing season.You look throughout sports, not only baseball, when teams that are supposed to do well dont do well, changes are made, not only with coaching staffs and personnel off the field but on the field as well, White Sox catcher Alex Avila said. Thats business as usual.The White Sox lead the season series against Minnesota 12-6.On Friday, the Twins (58-103) set a franchise record for losses in a season since the team moved to Minnesota in 1960. The franchise most recently lost 104 when the Washington Senators went 50-104 in 1949.Rookie right-hander Jose Berrios (2-7, 8.61 ERA) is expected to start for Minnesota. He has yet to pitch against the White Sox.Brian Dozier is expected to miss the game after he experienced right oblique soreness Saturday. He needs one RBI for 100 and two home runs to tie a major league record for second basemen.I hope the guys go out there and try to have a little bit of fun, manager Paul Molitor said.

Veteran trainer Nick Gonzalez disclosed Tuesday that Midnight Aria has been slow to recover from his stunning win July 7 at Woodbine Racetrack. As a result, the horse wont run in the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes on July 30 at Fort Erie Racetrack. "Listen, its all about the horse," Gonzalez said during a telephone interview from Fort Erie, Ont. "You can Triple Crown dream all you want and talk about it but at the end of the day you have to do whats right for the horse. "In the best interests of Midnight Aria Im going to pass on this race and give him time to recover from that gruelling humid, hot, rain-soaked track day." Gonzalez claimed Midnight Aria for $35,000 for owner Tucci Stables on Jan. 24 at Gulfstream Park. The move certainly paid off as Midnight Aria overcame rain and hot, muggy conditions to win the 1 1/4-mile Queens Plate at 16-1 odds and claim the $600,000 winners share. "I claimed the horse in January but he had run twice before that and really made his first start in late September so when you tack on a few months before that to get him ready, well, hes been going for a solid year," Gonzalez said. "I knew at one point and time even though we had Queens Plate dreams back in January when we claimed him . . . getting him to where we wanted to get him was going to take its toll on him. "Hes earned a break. I mean, hes a big, strong horse but he has his limits. He was showing signs of wear and tear and I dont want to bring him (to Fort Erie) with all the pressure and him not being 100 per cent." That means Wando will remain the last horse to win the Canadian Triple Crown, achieving the milestone in 2003. Gonzalez said having Midnight Aria run in next months $500,000 Breeders Stakes, a 1/2-mile turf event and final Triple Crown race, at Woodbine remains in the plans. "I already know he can handle the distance and he loves the turf," Gonzaleez said.dddddddddddd "And he will have had time to recover." Having Midnight Aria run at Fort Erie wouldve meant more to Gonzalez than simply gunning for the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown. A 40-year veteran of the horse-racing game, Gonzalez not only calls Fort Erie home but began his career at Fort Erie Racetrack. Midnight Arias victory earned Gonzalez his second Plate. His first came in 2010 with Big Red Mike, who also went wire-to-wire to capture Canadas most prestigious horse race with Queen Elizabeth II in attendance. "I know I had said I didnt think anything could ever outdo winning the Queens Plate in 2010 when the Queen was here," Gonzalez said. "In my mind there was never anything that could happen to me in the racing game that could outdo that. "But on July 7, believe me, it did. It really, really did." The 116-year-old Fort Erie track has hosted the Prince of Wales since 1929. But last years racing season was expected to be the tracks last after former Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty axed a revenue-sharing agreement that gave racetracks a slice of $345 million in annual slot profits. In March, new premier Kathleen Wynne announced transition funding agreements with three tracks -- Fort Erie, Georgian Downs and Flamboro Downs -- to ensure racing dates at the three venues for 2013. That gave the Prince of Wales a one-year reprieve at Fort Erie. However, Gonzalez is optimistic about horse-racings future, both at Fort Erie and across Ontario. "Weve got a lot to build on this year," he said. "Last year when we concluded our meet (at Fort Erie) we went out on a down note, we didnt know if the track was going to open the next year and there was no reason for anyone to get horses and come back. "Were not going to do that this year. When the end of September comes and were closing up shop here, were going to go out with a bang and were going to give incentives and were going to give people a reason to come back and be stronger and better. Period. Weve got to." ' ' '
