The SF Giants can likely cross one managerial candidate off their list. According to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, Skip Schumaker has been hired by the Texas Rangers to be their next manager.

Grant adds that the Rangers did not consider any external candidates, so Schumaker was always viewed as the frontrunner.
That is not surprising news. For the past season, Schumaker had been working in the Rangers' front office as an advisor to general manager Chris Young.
As soon as the Rangers mutually agreed to part ways with Bruce Bochy, it seemed like Schumaker would transition from the front office to the dugout.
