Rangers players react to Banister firing: ‘It’s hard to make everybody happy’

Nobody wanted to talk about what happened on Friday.

At least not in any sort of detail.

Not the players, the general manger and not the new interim manger of the Texas Rangers.

On Thursday afternoon, multiple sources told the the Star-Telegram about the possibility that Texas Rangers manager Jeff Banister could be fired.

Just after mid-day on Friday, a half-dozen or so hours before the team started its final three-game home series of this season against the Seattle Mariners, general manager Jon Daniels informed Banister that his dismissal had become a reality.
