Texas Rangers rumors: Mark DeRosa, former MLB player and current MLB Network analyst, has been a much-discussed potential managerial candidate for several of the teams that are seeking a new manager this offseason, including the Texas Rangers. However, Jon Morosi says that DeRosa declined an opportunity to interview with the Rangers, with Morosi saying DeRosa is “enjoying his current role at MLB Network.”
Its an understandable decision for DeRosa, who would seem to be set financially (Baseball Reference has his career earnings at $29 million from his playing days), and who has a gig that allows him to be involved in the game without having to deal with the stress, time commitment and overall grind that being a manager would require.
