ARLINGTON -- The Rangers will be looking for a new hitting coach after Anthony Iapoce informed the organization he is taking the same job with the Cubs.
The Rangers are allowing all their coaches to explore other opportunities while they conduct their search for a new manager. Interim manager Don Wakamatsu is expected to interview this week.
The Rangers hired Iapoce from the Cubs. He was a special assistant in Chicago's player development system before joining Texas as hitting coach in 2016. Iapoce replaces Chili Davis, who was let go by the Cubs at the end of the season.
