ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward got a contract extension Friday that goes through the 2023 season and includes a club option for another year after that.
The Rangers before last season had exercised their club option for 2022. Woodward originally got a three-year contract with that option when he became the manager after the 2018 season.
While Woodward is 160-224 overall with the Rangers, with 102 losses last season, the team has been in a rebuilding mode and that included the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
"After seeing Woody's passion and consistency first-hand over the last year, extending our partnership is an easy decision," said Chris Young, who took over as general manager about a year ago.
