Heading into their 52nd season, the Rangers still have not managed to win a World Series. But, for the first time ever, they have a manager who has.
The Rangers agreed to terms with Bruce Bochy to take over as the 20th full time manager in club history, the club announced on Friday. He agreed to a three-year contract covering the 2023-25 seasons. Bochy (pronounced BO-chee), 67, who has been retired for the last three seasons, has taken two different teams to the World Series and won three titles with San Francisco in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
“I am incredibly excited to be joining the Texas Rangers,” Bochy said in written statement. “Over the last several days, I’ve had extensive conversations with Chris Young and other individuals in the organization, and I had the chance to meet with Ray Davis. Their vision and commitment to putting together a club that can contend and win year in and year out is impressive, and I became convinced I wanted to be a part of that.
