Rangers Hire Skip Schumaker on Four-Year Deal as Manager

He will take over in 2026 after spending 2025 in the Rangers’ front office.

Overview

  • Texas announced the 45-year-old former NL Manager of the Year as its 21st manager, moving him from senior advisor to the dugout.
  • The agreement was finalized Friday after president of baseball operations Chris Young said the search was centered on an internal candidate with no external interviews.
  • Schumaker led the Marlins to an 84-78 playoff season in 2023 and compiled a 146-178 record over two years in Miami.
  • Bruce Bochy and the Rangers mutually ended his tenure following an 81-81 season, and he has been offered an advisory role.
  • Schumaker said he is honored to lead Texas and "can’t wait to begin the work for 2026," as the Rangers became the first of eight teams to fill a managerial vacancy.
