Rangers Interview Tony Beasley In Managerial Search

By Anthony Franco | October 7, 2022 at 7:33pm CDT

The Rangers conducted a managerial interview with interim skipper Tony Beasley today, president of baseball operations Chris Young informed reporters (including Kennedi Landry of MLB.com). Beasley, who held the position on an interim basis after Chris Woodward was fired in mid-August, is the only internal candidate under consideration. It’s unclear how many people outside the organization will meet with Texas brass in the coming weeks.

The 55-year-old Beasley first joined the Texas coaching staff in advance of the 2015 season. He held a coaching position under both former managers Jeff Banister and Woodward. After initially serving as third base coach for the 2022 campaign, Beasley was promoted to interim manager for the last six weeks of the season. The Virginia native took over a team that had a disappointing 51-63 record at the time. The club didn’t find any better results down the stretch, going 17-31 to close out the year at 68-94.

Certainly, Young and his staff will look at more than just the team’s record over six weeks in an already non-competitive season in determining whether Beasley warrants serious consideration for the full-time job. He’s clearly earned the respect of multiple previous skippers and the front office, although former president of baseball operations Jon Daniels was let go not long after Woodward.

Young is leading a baseball operations department for a first time, making the managerial search his first big decision. Hired as general manager during the 2020-21 offseason, the former big league hurler spent a year and a half as Daniels’ top assistant. He was kicked up to the top of the front office once ownership dismissed Daniels, and Young saw a bump in title from GM to president of baseball ops. The 43-year-old said today he’s not yet decided whether the team will look for a new GM to play a similar role that he’d served under Daniels (via Levi Weaver of the Athletic).

    Thought the owner should have gone outside the org for a new POBO. And from there, that new hire guts the field and FO staffs. Didn’t happen. Here’s hoping it all works out!

      I don’t mind Chris Young getting his shot at the job, but I agree with you on gutting the field and FO staffs. If Young decides not to go that direction, Ranger fans may be calling for his firing sooner than later.

      I think the Rangers should hire a general manager also and not leave everything to Chris Young the president of baseball of operations. Two executives might make wiser decisions for a franchise than one. I believe Ray Davis one of the principal owners of the Rangers made a mistake by leaving both positions to Chris Young. On the other hand, the Rangers should take a look at Mark de Rosa who recently said that he is interested in the managerial position, Joe Espada, Mike Shildt just to name a few.

        CY is a mlb executive. You must be smoking if you think he’s doing this by himself

      Although I get your other points, CY has done nothing to deserve being let go. Let him run the show. He’s been making decisions as the GM since he came into the organization. I do think they should hire a GM to help with duties. Couple years we’ll see but CY is very smart and I believe in what he’s doing.

        I also believe Chris Young is a smart guy, but having a general manager that works with him could help him a lot.

          No doubt and agree it would help. Curious if they do, who would be a target.

          I don’t really know, but a former general manager that I think didn’t do that bad as a GM is Matt Klentak. He signed Wheeler, acquired Segura, JT Realmuto and he was able to negotiate an extension with Aaron Nola. He drafted Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm and he signed Bryce Harper although the ownership wanted Harper anyways. Someone with experience could be beneficial. Although, if they can hire someone who is currently an assistant that works close with a general manager or president of baseball of operations from a good franchise like the super team/ Dodgers, Rays or Braves could be good for the Rangers. Maybe hiring someone from the Astros organization could also be a great decision.

    Rangers were interested in Will Venable a while back, hopefully they still are because Texas is about as far from Boston’s bench Venable can get

      With the recent surprising news that Bush and Fatse are returning, Texas better want Venable because those three are the three musketeers of horrible coaching.

    Beasley did nothing to deserve the permanent job, and I doubt that he will get it. My dark horse pick is Joe Maddon, but we’ll see.

    I’m a little confused as to why the would need to interview him? They’ve seen how he operates in the manager role in the second half.

      So when they do not select him he won’t be able say, “But they didn’t even interview me”

    Ridding the scouting and development departments of Jon Daniels’ incompetent minions is every bit as important as the next field manager.
