Put another coaching search on the Texas Rangers’ to-do list.
Hitting coach Anthony Iapoce has informed the club that he is living for the same post with the Chicago Cubs, a source said on Monday.
The Rangers hired Iapoce after the 2015 season from the Cubs, for whom he had served as an assistant to the general manager in charge of their minor-league hitting program. The Cubs fired hitting coach Chili Davis last week.
The Rangers are also in the market for an assistant hitting coach after they told Justin Mashore that he would not return for 2019.
