The Texas Rangers’ season attendance has dropped by more than one million in the last five years. But president and general manager Jon Daniels didn’t feel pressure to go out and make a “splash” hire to re-energize the fan base with the team’s next manager.
Instead, Daniels cared solely on making the “right” hire and he wholeheartedly believes that Chris Woodward is the right man for the job.
“The only thing we cared about is somebody we felt would lead us to where we want to go,” Daniels said on Monday as the team introduced Woodward.
