Veteran Manager Bochy Mulls Future as Potential Successor Schumaker Emerges
21 Jul
Summary
- Rangers manager Bruce Bochy's future beyond 2025 is uncertain
- Skip Schumaker, former Marlins manager, is a candidate to replace Bochy
- Schumaker is also a strong candidate for the Atlanta Braves' managerial job
As the 2025 season approaches, the future of Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy remains uncertain. Bochy, a future Hall of Famer, is entering the final year of his three-year deal with the Rangers and has maintained that he will not make any decisions about his future until after the season.
Meanwhile, Skip Schumaker, who was the manager of the Miami Marlins for two seasons, has been hired as a senior advisor to the Rangers' president of baseball operations. This move has positioned Schumaker as a potential successor to Bochy, should the veteran manager decide to retire.
However, Schumaker's future may not be with the Rangers. According to reports, he is also considered a strong candidate for the Atlanta Braves' managerial job once current manager Brian Snitker retires after this season. The Braves, who won the World Series in 2021, have a solid roster and farm system, making the job an attractive option for Schumaker.
As the Rangers continue to fight for a playoff spot, the organization will be closely watching Bochy's decision-making process. If the legendary manager does decide to step down, Schumaker could be a prime candidate to take over the reins in Texas or elsewhere.
