Manager update.

Evan Grant (Dallas Morning News) reports that the Rangers, having interviewed eight candidates to be the club’s next manager since the regular season ended (Tim Bogar, Mike Maddux, Steve Buechele, Torey Lovullo, Jeff Banister, Joe McEwing, Kevin Cash, and Alex Cora), are “expected to pare the list down to three and conduct some second more formal interviews next week.”

According to Jeff Wilson (Fort Worth Star-Telegram), the new manager “should be in place within a week.”
