Rangers make Dodgers' Chris Woodward their manager

The Texas Rangers hired Los Angeles Dodgers third base coach Chris Woodward to be their manager Saturday.

He received a three-year contract with a club option for 2022 to replace Jeff Banister, fired six weeks ago.

Woodward, 42, spent the past three years on the staff of manager Dave Roberts, after working for Seattle the previous three years, first as minor league infield coordinator and later on the big league staff.

General Manager Jon Daniels has hired three managers in 13 years, and not a one of them had experience as a manager.

"Chris brings high energy, outstanding leadership and communication skills, a strong knowledge of the game and its evolving strategies, and great integrity."

The Rangers interviewed more than 10 candidates, among them Rocco Baldelli, who was hired by the Twins.

Woodward inherits a team that went 67-95 and finished last in the AL West. Texas had its first consecutive losing seasons since 2005-08.
