Rangers reach double-digits in confirmed managerial candidates. Who is the latest?

Add another name to the lengthy list of candidates to be the next Texas Rangers manager.

A source confirmed that Minnesota Twins bench coach Derek Shelton will interview for the vacancy created Sept. 21 when Jeff Banister was fired. Shelton becomes the 10th confirmed candidate, and it is believed that Los Angeles Dodgers third-base coach Chris Woodward and Boston Red Sox bench coach Ron Roenicke will also interview.

The additional interviews could push the Rangers’ managerial search into late next week. The annual general manager’s meetings are Nov. 5-8 in Carlsbad, Calif., and the Rangers would not introduce a new manager there.
