The Rangers are making some organizational adjustments after falling just short of a playoff spot this season. Assistant hitting coach Alex Cintrón will not return to the position, president of baseball operations Chris Young told reporters on Monday (h/t Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News). Texas parted ways with assistant pitching coach Dave Bush.
Cintrón will remain with the team in an offensive-related role. Young made the decision sound more like something that came from Cintrón instead of the organization, with the former infielder trying “to balance what’s best for him at this point.”
After a nine-year playing career, Cintrón entered the coaching ranks.
