The Rangers have yet to finalize their list of interviews for their vacant managerial spot, but have done significant due diligence on at least five external candidates, two sources confirmed Wednesday.
The Rangers are also giving strong consideration to internal candidates Don Wakamatsu, who finished the season as the interim manager, and assistant general manager Jayce Tingler, who finished the season as the bench coach, the sources confirmed.
From outside the organization, the Rangers have discussed two coaches for teams still in the playoffs, Los Angeles Dodgers' third base coach Chris Woodward and Houston bench coach Joe Espada.
