The Texas Rangers have officially announced that Chris Woodward will be at the helm again in 2022. What does this mean for the organization going forward?

In what President of Baseball Operations Jon Daniels called a “formality,” the Texas Rangers have picked up Chris Woodward’s 2022 option on his contract.

Woodward signed a three-year deal with Texas after the 2018 season, replacing the fiery, but bad communicator Jeff Bannister.
