ARLINGTON, Texas -- Interim manager Tony Beasley was the first candidate interviewed in the Texas Rangers' managerial search that general manager Chris Young hopes to wrap up in three to four weeks.
Young said Friday that Beasley would be the only internal candidate for the job, but didn't say who else or how many other people would be interviewed in the process.
"We started with a large master list, and we're narrowing that as we speak," Young said, without elaborating two days after the Rangers finished their sixth consecutive losing season.
Young declined to comment when asked specifically if the search could proceed without knowing if three-time World Series champion manager Bruce Bochy had interest in the job or not.
