Latest On Rangers’ Managerial Search

By charliewilmoth and Jeff Todd | October 14, 2014 at 3:42pm CDT

Here’s the latest on the Rangers’ search for a new manager:

OCTOBER 14:

  • The finalists are Tim Bogar, Jeff Banister, and Kevin Cash, the Rangers announced today.

OCTOBER 13:

  • Torey Lovullo and Alex Cora have been informed that they are no longer in the running, tweets Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. As Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported yesterday, the club was expected to winnow the field this week.

OCTOBER 9:

  • The Rangers interviewed Indians bullpen coach Kevin Cash today, according to Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram (Twitter link).

OCTOBER 8: 

  • The Rangers announced today that they interviewed Pirates bench coach Jeff Banister and White Sox third base coach Joe McEwing for the position.
  • MassLive.com’s Jason Mastrodonato previously reported that Lovullo’s interview was conducted Tuesday of this week. Mastrodonato provides an excellent profile of Lovullo’s journey to his current status and desire to manage at the big league level.

OCTOBER 3:

  • After already having interviewed Buechele and Maddux, the Rangers announced six additional candidates today: Bogar, Lovullo, White Sox third base coach Joe McEwing, former big leaguer Alex Cora, Indians bullpen coach Kevin Cash, and Pirates bench coach Jeff Banister.

OCTOBER 2:

  • The Rangers will interview Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo, WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford reports. The 49-year-old has been a candidate for multiple managerial openings in recent years, including the just-filled Astros job.

SEPTEMBER 28:

  • The Rangers will interview interim manager Tim Bogar, pitching coach Mike Maddux and Triple-A Round Rock manager Steve Buechele as they attempt to find a permanent replacement for Ron Washington, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram tweets. The Rangers will also interview “a few external candidates.”
  • It comes as no surprise that the Rangers would interview Bogar, Maddux and Buechele. At the tail end of a disastrous, injury-filled season, the Rangers have performed well for Bogar, which has already led to speculation that Bogar might be almost forcing the Rangers to hire him. Maddux has said that he hoped to receive an interview for the position. He would likely return as the pitching coach if the Rangers hire Bogar (and, presumably, if Maddux is not offered a managerial job elsewhere). Buechele, meanwhile, has also interviewed for the open manager position in Houston.

    Obviously, Banister is the choice here. Why wouldn’t you want to hire the candidate who has the highest batting average in the entire history of Major League Baseball?

    Maybe not for the Rangers and maybe not this year, but Kevin Cash will make someone a fine manager given the chance.

    Jeff Banister has really paid is dues in the Pirate system and is highly regarded by Clint Hurdle. He may not get this job, but he should be considered for other openings going forward. I am less familiar with Bogar and Cash as coaches, but it sounds like these 3 guys are a similar type of candidate, and all 3 deserve a managerial shot, so good for all 3 of them.
