Dayton Moore hired by Texas Rangers as special advisor

The Texas Rangers have hired former Royals general manager Dayton Moore to be a special advisor, according to MLB.com reporter Mark Feinsand. The Royals fired Moore in September after 16 years with the team. The Rangers are run by former Royals pitcher Chris Young, who Moore signed to play for the Royals from 2015 to 2017.

It is not clear what Moore’s role will be exactly, but he is an experienced baseball executive who can assist Young with his duties. The Rangers fired long-time executive Jon Daniels in August after 16 years and two pennants with the club, giving control of the club to Young.
