No word on whether the Rangers will release Tim Bogar from his Bench Coach contract, or if they're talking to him about staying on under Banister.  Banister is, for all intents and purposes, apparently "Bogar, only more so".  It's also worth noting that Texas has granted permission for the coaching staff to interview elsewhere.  Mike Maddux and 3rd Base/Outfield coach Gary Pettis have both expressed their intentions to stay with the Rangers, but it looks like Dave Magadan may be headed to New York.  Texas may not necessarily be sad to see him go, and have obtained permission from the Athletics to talk to Chili Davis.

Oh, and the Kansas City Royals have won the 2014 American League pennant with 8 straight playoff wins. Ned Yost has become, already, one of the most successful post-season managers ever.

Ned Yost.

UPDATE:  Gary Pettis accepts a coaching position in Houston.  I really need to stop listening to Gary Pettis.  He's also the guy who said Washington was leaving the team for medical reasons.
