After missing the playoffs three seasons in a row, the Rangers will be looking to change some things this\u00a0offseason. Could the team bring back an old friend for the coaching staff?<\/p>\n
“I think they’ve got a really good infield instructor right now in Corey Ragsdale, but I think Wash would would love to finish out his career with the Rangers. I just don’t know what it would look like,” Grant said. “If [outfield instructor] Travis Jankowski’s duties change a little bit and Corey works more with the outfielders next year, maybe there’s a configuration there.”<\/p>\n
Since leaving the Rangers<\/a> near the end of the 2014 season, Washington has coached for the Athletics and Atlanta Braves (winning a World Series in 2021) and managed the Los Angeles Angels. He took a leave of absence as Angels manager last season after undergoing quadruple bypass surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n Washington has long been considered one of the top infield instructors in baseball and could be a fresh voice for his old team in 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After missing the playoffs three seasons in a row, the Rangers will be looking to change some things…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2390],"tags":[291,5,1165,446,3223,774,56,3224,3222,4,83514],"class_list":["post-819434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-angels","tag-angels","tag-baseball","tag-la","tag-la-angels","tag-laangels","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-angels","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesangels","tag-mlb","tag-tp-texas-rangers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117369345361952099","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
