Elvis Andrus has played for four first-year managers during his 15-year career, including three in the last five years.
Jeff Bannister was Manager of the Year with the AL West champion Rangers in 2015, Chris Woodward’s 2019 Rangers team went 78-84 in 2019, Mark Kotsay guided an undermanned Athletics team to a 60-102 season in 2022 (Andrus was traded to the White Sox midseason) and now there’s Pedro Grifol, who is trying to avoid a disastrous 100-loss campaign.
