Per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Texas Rangers are considering parting ways with manager Jeff Banister. This news struck much of Rangers’ nation by surprise when released yesterday afternoon. Many have complained about General Manager Jon Daniels, and many have complained about hitting coach Anthony Iapoce and pitching coach Doug Brocail. But few have seemed anxious for Jeff Banister to get the boot. Unfortunately, the front office may be anxious, and that’s really all that matters.
The Rangers currently hold a regular season record of 64-88, 31 games behind the first place Houston Astros in the American League West.
