In the history of cowardly moves, firing Jeff Banister is impressive. Once word leaked that one of the worst teams in baseball was considering firing the manager, which the Rangers are, it was over.
And it is over. The Texas Rangers have fired manager Jeff Banister before the season is even over.
The manager who led the team to consecutive American League West titles in 2015 and ‘16, and was named the AL Manager of the Year in ‘15, is now suddenly the dumbest/worst guy in the room.
The players checked out on Banister; seldom to never does a player ever want to admit the real problem is the mirror.
