Rangers Hire Shiraz Rehman As Assistant GM

By Jeff Todd | October 16, 2018 at 8:24am CDT

The Rangers have officially struck a deal to hire Shiraz Rehman to an assistant general manager post. The Cubs Insider blog reported the news late last night.

Rehman had been with the Cubs for seven seasons, the last five of those coming in an AGM capacity. Most recently, he was tabbed to head up the Chicago organization’s “strategic initiatives.” When he received that assignment before the current season, Rehman was said to be charged with “evaluating existing systems, and recognizing and applying solutions in an effort to create competitive advantages for the organization.”

Rehman will be occupying a “similar role” in Texas, but he’ll do so in a kitchen with somewhat fewer cooks. Presently, the organization lists three assistant GMs underneath general manager Jon Daniels: Josh Boyd (professional scouting, R&D, & pacific rim operations), Mike Daly (major league operation & international scouting), and Jayce Tingler (player development), with Tingler widely expected to take a uniformed role in 2019. Rehman had also been one of three AGMs in Chicago. But that department is headed by both executive VP/GM Jed Hoyer and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, with senior VP Jason McLeod also a noted senior decisionmaker.

It seems reasonable to presume that, even if his title won’t change much, Rehman will be moving into a somewhat loftier spot on the totem pole with his new organization. Indeed, the club’s announcement provides that he’ll “assist President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Jon Daniels in the day-to-day management of Major League operations of the baseball department, including player acquisitions, roster management, player contracts, and salary arbitration.”

    Interesting hire, said to be solid guy within the organization – Rangers need that no doubt. Always a team that seems on the verge of putting it all together, if Farrell or Yankee ex Joe G hired I think they take next step, talented group coming up and maybe new park will help pitching issues they’ve had for years.

      I think Farrell is the best hire. I wish I knew more about Rehman. I’m totally dissatisfied with Tingler and his player development role.

    Maybe this could mean an impending move for Jayce Tingler. He has been connected with Minnesota ( I believe ) and has interviewed for the managers position in Texas as well.
    Not sure Farrell or Girardi is a good fit for Texas at the moment – I think Bannister was the same mold although without the skins on the wall.

    Why not just rid the Rangers of Jon Daniels whose botched trades and failure to provide a minor league system that can develop major league pitchers has sunk the franchise for the foreseeable future?

      If the Rangers brass has failed to develop major league pitchers, then this guy from the Cubs should fit right in.
