Texas Rangers Zero In on New Assistant General Manager

The Texas Rangers are reportedly closing in on hiring an assistant general manager, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The Rangers have been searching for an assistant GM since the end of the 2022 season, when former assistant GM Mike Daly left to join the Chicago Cubs.

The Rangers have interviewed several candidates for the position, including former Oakland Athletics assistant GM David Forst, former San Francisco Giants assistant GM Bobby Evans, and former Arizona Diamondbacks assistant GM Jared Porter.

The Rangers are expected to make a decision on their new assistant GM in the coming weeks.

The Rangers are hoping that their new assistant GM can help them build on their success from 2022, when they won the American League West division for the first time since 2016.

The Rangers have a number of young players who are expected to be key contributors in 2023, including shortstop Corey Seager, second baseman Marcus Semien, and outfielder Adolis Garcia.

The Rangers are also hoping to make some noise in the free agent market this offseason, with several of their needs.

The Rangers are hoping that their new assistant GM can help them put together a team that can compete for a World Series title in 2023.
