Schumaker, 45, replaces Bruce Bochy, with whom the Rangers mutually parted ways last month after three seasons<\/a>, which included winning the 2023 World Series title. Bochy has been offered an advisory role with the Rangers, but it is unclear if he will accept that. <\/p>\n

Schumaker won NL Manager of the Year in 2023 with Miami in his rookie managerial season, leading a young Marlins team to the playoffs for only the fourth time in the franchise\u2019s history. After a front office change above him in 2024, Schumaker left the club just before the end of the season. He joined the Rangers in a senior advisory role<\/a> a couple of months later as a potential managerial successor.<\/p>\n

Schumaker was expected to be a hot commodity for managerial openings if he didn\u2019t agree quickly to become the Rangers\u2019 21st full-time manager. San Francisco, Atlanta, Minnesota and the Los Angeles Angels all announced managerial vacancies in the past week. <\/p>\n

The Rangers and Bochy agreed to after the team finished the 2025 season with an 81-81 record<\/a>. It was the first .500 record ever for the franchise that began as the Washington Senators in 1961 before moving to Texas in 1972, and a first for Bochy in 28 seasons overall managing San Diego, San Francisco and Texas. It was the second straight non-winning season for the Rangers after winning the World Series. <\/p>\n

For the 70-year-old Bochy, he finished his Rangers tenure 249-237 (.512), the third-best winning percentage in club history for any manager with at least 500 games. He remains the only one to win a World Series<\/a>. And he is sixth all-time in managerial wins with 2,252 \u2014 74 behind Joe Torre. <\/p>\n

Schumaker spent 11 seasons in the majors as a player, mostly with St, Louis. He was part of the 2011 Cardinals team that beat the Rangers in dramatic seven-game World Series. He spent four years coaching with San Diego and St. Louis before taking on the Marlins job. <\/p>\n

In 2023, Schumaker took over a Miami team that won 69 games the previous season and guided it to a 15-win improvement and a wild card berth. The Marlins lost the Wild Card series 2-0 to Philadelphia. Miami then changed GMs, trimmed payroll by $15 million and fell back to a 90-loss season in 2024. Schumaker announced to the team he would not return for 2025 a few days before the season ended. He joined the Rangers in November, after Will Venable left the organization to take over as the Chicago White Sox managerial job. <\/p>\n
