According to several reports, the Texas Rangers hired Chris Woodward, Los Angeles Dodgers' third goal coach, as the new manager.
The news was reported Friday by USA Today Sports.
Woodward, 42, will occupy his first managerial position after three years with the Dodgers, winner of the National League pennant for the past two seasons.
A veteran of the public service, Woodward has played in some of the 12 major seasons with the Blue Jays, Mets, Braves, Mariners and Red Sox.
After retiring in 2012, he joined the Mariners organization and served as infield coach from 2014 to 2015 before joining the Dodgers.
The Rangers have just finished a catastrophic 67-95 season that led them to the bottom of the Western American League.
Woodward will replace Jeff Banister, who was sacked by Texas at the end of September as the team claimed its first consecutive record in 10 years after winning division titles in each of Banister's first two seasons.
