One of the Oakland Athletics’ biggest rivals has a new skipper leading the clubhouse.
According to a press release, the Texas Rangers have hired Bruce Bochy to be the team’s next manager.
The move comes just two months after the team fired manager Chris Woodward.
Woodward was hired by the Rangers in 2019 and spent four seasons at the helm, achieving a 211-278 record. Woodward never led the Rangers to a winning season during his tenure, and did not meet expectations this year even after the team spent millions of dollars signing former A’s infielder Marcus Semien and one-time World Series champion Corey Seager last offseason.
