The rebuilding plan the Texas Rangers are undertaking has reached the manager’s office.
Multiple sources confirmed that the Rangers are contemplating replacing Jeff Banister after the season even though he is under contract for 2019. The Rangers exercised the option they held on him for next season shortly after the 2017 season ended.
Those same sources also said that no final decision about changing managers has been made.
The Rangers’ second consecutive losing season, one put in place by the front office and ownership, is not necessarily why Banister’s future is in doubt.
