Bruce Bochy’s managerial career may be over or ready for a return home.
The Rangers announced they and future Hall of Fame manager Bruce Bochy agreed to part ways after three seasons on Monday night.
He has been offered a front office role in the organization as an advisor, but it is unclear if Bochy will accept it.
Bochy, 70, went 249-237 in his three seasons in Texas – including winning the franchise’s first World Series championship in his inaugural campaign in 2023.
He came out of retirement to join Texas after leading the Giants to three World Series in 13 seasons. Bochy also managed the Padres from 1995-2006, losing the 1998 World Series to the Yankees.
“Bruce Bochy is one of the greatest managers in baseball history and he will forever hold a place in the hearts of Ranger fans after bringing home the first World Series title in franchise history in 2023,” said Rangers President of Baseball Operations Chris Young. “Boch brought class and respect to our club in his return to the dugout and we will always take pride in being part of his Hall of Fame career. We are grateful for everything he has given to the organization over the past few seasons and hopeful he can continue to impact the Rangers for many years to come.”
If Bochy is done for good, it ends one of the best managerial careers ever, even with an overall record of 2252-2266.
However, until one of the parties puts an end to the chatter, there will be talk of Bochy returning to manage the Giants after San Francisco fired manager Bob Melvin following the team going 161-163 in his two seasons.
