2 years agoThe Texas Rangers fired manager Chris Woodward on Monday, the team announced. The Rangers are currently in third place in the American League West with a 51-63 record despite investing more than a half-billion guaranteed dollars in the free-agent market in the offseason. It is Woodward's fourth straight year with a losing record, and he'll be replaced by third base coach Tony Beasley, who has been named the interim manager for the rest of the year. The Rangers' 6-24 record in one-run games this year would be the second-worst single-season winning percentage in such finishes since 1900, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Woodward was hired in November of 2018 after coaching stints with the Mariners and Dodgers after a 12-year career in the big leagues as a utility man.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
