Brandon McCarthy announced his retirement from baseball a few months ago, but the retirement is apparently just from playing, as Andy McCullough tweets that McCarthy has joined the Texas Rangers baseball operations.
McCarthy was acquired by Jon Daniels in one of his first moves as general manager, coming to Texas in a deal that sent John Danks and Nick Masset to the Chicago White Sox. McCarthy struggled to stay healthy with Texas, however, dealing with stress fractures in his shoulder blade among other issues.
