MLB Trade Rumors
The Rangers are firing manager Chris Woodward, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News was first to report. The team has not yet announced the decision; the interim manager is yet unclear.
Woodward, 46, spent a bit under four seasons at the helm in Arlington. Texas hired him off the Dodgers coaching staff over the 2018-19 offseason, making him the permanent replacement after dismissing Jeff Banister that September (with some intervening interim work from Don Wakamatsu). Woodward stepped into a difficult situation, taking over a team coming off a last-place finish that was cutting payroll as it embarked upon a rebuild.
