Rangers In Contact With Former Royals GM Dayton Moore

By Simon Hampton | November 4, 2022 at 6:54pm CDT

Rangers general manager Chris Young has acknowledged he’s been in contact with former Royals general manager Dayton Moore and “would welcome” the opportunity to work with him, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic adds that industry sources have continued to link Moore with the Rangers. Young pitched for the Royals between 2015-17 and won the World Series while Moore was GM there.

Moore began his front office career as a scout for the Braves, and worked his way up within that organization before the Royals hired him to be their GM in 2006. He held that position until 2021, rebuilding a roster that lost 100 games in his first season and went to the World Series in 2014 and 2015, when they won their second championship. He survived a change of ownership in 2019, and the Royals promoted him to president of baseball operations in earlier this year, but he was fired in September. After a number of years of rebuilding after their championship season, the Royals had looked to have taken a step forward in 2021 winning 74 games, but they fell back again in 2022 and wound up with just 65 wins.

It’s unclear what role the Rangers would have for Moore. Young stated they did not plan to hire a general manager below him, and Grant speculates that a senior advisor position seems most likely. If he does join, Moore would join a Rangers team trying to break out of a lengthy rebuild, having gone 68-94 in 2022 for their sixth-straight losing season.

    I just Dayton Moore must be short on $$$ to take a step down. Not ever been the GM but a flukey title like Senior Adviser.

    How you know why the Rangers never win.

        Yeah… Me Too.

        Dayton personifies quality… As a person, a baseball mind andca businessman.

        He’s advisor to Chris Young, the former Royal pitcher who is currently the Rangers GM… Dayton, doesn’t need a paycheck.

      The Rangers had some damn good teams from 2009-2016? With 2014 being the only year with a sub par record? They don’t always lose? I like the fit with the rangers for Moore

    Moore does deserve credit for building a world champion and a 2 time AL champion. His main down fall was not selling his players at the right time with guys like Whit Merrifield, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, and Lorenzo Cain outstaying their welcome and getting little to nothing for once great players.

    Smart move by the Rangers if it happens. Young is a new GM. Having someone with Moore’s experience around as an advisor will be helpful. It keeps Moore in the game as he awaits another opportunity. Cherington did it before landing with the Pirates. AA did it before landing with the Braves.

    Merrifield always baffled me. He had real good value, but KC waited until he had almost no value. They had 59 wins in 2019, but had some attractive trade assets in Merrifield, Soler and Duffy,

    Moore would be a great hire. I’m happy with the direction of the Rangers. It’s nice to have some excitement for Ranger fans again.

    Ok, I agree Dayton Moore was a pretty decent GM for this team. And he had built up success earlier either by skill or luck with those Braves clubs. He clearly messed things up at the end by failing to maximize on some player value. Let’s not compound that with a rehire. Good deal then and now, let it end.

      Pretty decent yeah. Took a franchise dormant since 1985 and won consecutive league titles and a World Series with them.

    What I think this article says is that Chris Young wants Dayton More to take on an advisory role until More can assume a President role of another team.
