The Texas Rangers fired manager Chris Woodward on Monday. He was two games shy of managing his 500th game with the Rangers.
Daniels said the 46-year-old Woodward was “dedicated and passionate in his efforts to improve the on-field performance” of the team.
Third base coach Tony Beasley was named the team’s interim manager, starting with Monday night’s game against the Oakland A’s. Texas was 53-61 after finishing a series win at home Sunday over the Seattle Mariners, but hasn't had a winning record at any point this season. That's even after a record offseason spending spree that added a half-billion dollar infield — All-Star shortstop Corey Seager to a $325 million, 10-year contract, and Gold Glove second baseman Marcus Semien to a $175, seven-year deal.
Beasley is in his eighth season with the Rangers, and is the longest-tenured member of their big-league coaching staff. He previously was on the major league staffs with Washington and Pittsburgh , and had a 590-472 record in eight seasons as a minor league manager in those organizations.
