The Bruce Bochy era with the Texas Rangers has officially come to an end.

The Rangers announced Monday that both sides have agreed to mutually part ways. The World Series-winning manager will remain a consultant of the club, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.

The news comes as no surprise, as Bochy’s contract with the Rangers came to an end following Texas’ season-ending loss on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. There are rumblings that the San Francisco Giants are interested in reuniting with Bochy after the team let go of manager Bob Melvin.

The 70-year-old manager signed a three-year deal with the Rangers in 2023 and led Texas to a World Series in his first season with the team. The Rangers failed to replicate the same success in Years 2 and 3, with injuries hurting the team’s playoff chances. Texas finished this season with an 81-81 record.

Rangers senior advisor Skip Schumaker is reportedly the “heavy, heavy favorite” to succeed Bochy as the Rangers’ manager.

Before his brief Rangers stint, Bochy won three World Series trophies during his 13-year run with the Giants. With Giants legend Buster Posey now running the show in San Francisco, it’s no surprise the team is reportedly trying to get their old skipper back.
