Rangers expand their managerial search

ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have added Twins bench coach Derek Shelton to their list of managerial candidates, an industry source said Tuesday.

Shelton was one of the finalists for the Twins managerial opening after Paul Molitor was dismissed, but that job went to Rays field coordinator Rocco Baldelli. The Twins, though, are hoping that Shelton remains on their coaching staff.

Shelton, who interviewed with Texas on Tuesday, is the latest addition to the Rangers' expanded search, although it is still not completely clear which candidates are getting serious interviews. It does appear that the Rangers are not completely satisfied with those who were on the original list of candidates.
