Texas Rangers general manager Chris Young has met with veteran manager Bruce Bochy, per reports.
This is not exactly a surprise, as there has been a sense that Bochy would be the favorite for the Rangers’ manager job, should he be interested. Bochy managed Young when they were both with the San Diego Padres, and won three World Series titles with the San Francisco Giants.
Bochy managed from 1995 through 2019, a run of 25 consecutive seasons, and he announced prior to the 2019 season that he would be retiring, so it isn’t as if he was pushed out.
