Texas Rangers interview three manager candidates, per reports

The Texas Rangers have interviewed Jayce Tingler, Brandon Hyde, and Joe Espada, per the beat guys on Twitter. These are the first of what I would assume will be 7 to 10 interviews before the team decides on its finalists.

Tingler, 37, was a minor league Rule 5 pick of the Rangers before the 2005 season, and after playing in the Rangers system in 2005 and 2006, he became a minor league coach in 2007. Tingler has been working in various roles, both on and off the field, since then, including stints as a minor league manager, a minor league field coordinator, the major league field coordinator for the Rangers in 2015 and 2016, and as an assistant general manager the past two seasons.
