Texas Rangers Part Ways with Manager Bruce Bochy After 2025 Season

Bruce Bochy and the Texas Rangers have mutually agreed to part ways following the 2025 MLB season, ending his three-year tenure that included leading the Rangers to their first-ever World Series championship in 2023. Despite a strong start, the team regressed with back-to-back seasons missing the playoffs, finishing 81-81 in 2025. Bochy, 70, who came out of retirement to join Texas after a successful run with the Giants, was offered an advisory role with the Rangers but his acceptance remains uncertain. Reports suggest the Rangers plan to promote Skip Schumaker, a senior advisor with player development experience, as the likely next manager. There is speculation that Bochy might return to managing, possibly with the San Francisco Giants, who recently fired Bob Melvin and are reportedly interested in reuniting with Bochy, especially given his past success and ties to the team. The Rangers emphasized their intention to get younger and face financial constraints, influencing the managerial change and future direction of the team.
