General manager Jon Daniels, his band of merry lieutenants and a team of scouts will leave the Texas Rangers’ annual pro-scouting meetings Friday still not certain who will be the team’s next manager.
The search is ongoing, with more candidates interviewed this week after it appeared the Rangers would select from a group of eight they had already interviewed. More could be become candidates, Daniels said.
Three of the original candidates – David Bell, hired by the Cincinnati Reds; Rocco Baldelli, hired by the Minnesota Twins; and Joe Girardi, who will be a TV analyst again next year – have been eliminated.
