News broke on Wednesday that the Texas Rangers are interviewing Eric Chavez for their vacant managerial position. Yes, that Eric Chavez. The former Oakland A’s star third baseman most recently managed the Angel’s Triple-A club for the tail end of their 2018 season. Before that, Chavez worked as a special assistant for the New York Yankees under Brian Cashman and then moved to the Angels organization in 2015.
Chavez, a former Gold Glove winner, is fairly inexperienced with regards to coaching which all signs point to that possibly being something for which the Rangers front office is looking.
