Bogar out...

The Texas Rangers have announced that Tim Bogar won't be returning to the club, at least in a coaching capacity, in 2015.

Jon Daniels left open the possibility that Bogar could work for the Rangers, just not on Jeff Banister's staff said that the club has made an offer to Bogar to remain with the team in a different capacity, and await his decision. Considering Bogar has been a well-thought-of and often considered coaching prospect for several years, it seems likely that someone will add him to their staff as a big league coach or coordinator.


This isn't necessarily unexpected, as expecting Bogar to work for the guy he was competing with for a job isn't fair to either Bogar or Banister. The only possibility that would work would be if both Banister and Bogar were 100% comfortable with the idea *and* compatible in their thinking. However, there are also examples of such a situation working out; when Mike Scioscia was hired to manage the Angels, his main competition was bench coach and interim manager Joe Maddon. After Scioscia was selected, Maddon remained with the team as bench coach for several years before being hired to manage Tampa Bay.
