Grant provides that Luis Urueta, who was bench coach throughout Schumaker’s tenure in Miami, is predicted to take up that job with the Rangers.

It’s unclear how this can impression Donnie Ecker, as he has been the bench coach in Texas and there’s been nothing to point he’s leaving the membership. Will Venable was simply employed to handle the White Sox after beforehand being affiliate supervisor of the Rangers, so maybe Urueta will take over a few of Venable’s duties with Ecker’s title altering.

Schumaker was employed to handle the Marlins forward of the 2023 season. His first marketing campaign on the helm was a profitable one, because the Fish defied the percentages to go 84-78 and squeak into the postseason, their first look within the playoffs in a full season in 20 years. Schumaker earned Nationwide League Supervisor of the 12 months honors on the heels of that.

Regardless of the cinderella season, the Marlins determined to shake up their entrance workplace afterwards, parting methods with common supervisor Kim Ng and hiring Peter Bendix as president of baseball operations. Schumaker was reportedly displeased with the shift in route, which led the Marlins to void their 2025 membership possibility with him.

That reporting got here out in April and it was anticipated all all through the 2024 marketing campaign that he would depart Miami, which is what ultimately got here to cross. He was speculated as a managerial match for different golf equipment and did ultimately get consideration for openings as soon as the offseason rolled round. Two golf equipment apart from the Marlins had dugout vacancies this winter, the Reds and the White Sox. Schumaker was linked to each gigs however the Reds went with Terry Francona and the Sox with Venable.

Maybe Schumaker will return to being a skipper sometime, however he’ll be a part of the Rangers group for now. It’s unclear if that is a part of some long-term pivot away from the dugout to the entrance workplace or maybe only a placeholder job. If Schumaker intends to handle once more sooner or later, this job is maybe a extra engaging different than simply sitting on his fingers for a 12 months. He can share a few of his experience with the Rangers whereas absorbing a few of theirs and maybe be able to pursue managerial jobs subsequent winter.

It’s additionally attainable that his subsequent managerial opening might be in Arlington. Many individuals thought of Venable to be a form of manager-in-waiting since present skipper Bruce Bochy is popping 70 years outdated in April. Venable has now moved on however the membership will naturally wish to be ready for the potential of Bochy deciding to retire. If that involves cross within the subsequent 12 months or two, maybe Schumaker can merely slide into that position, already being conversant in among the internal workings of the group.

As for Urueta, he spent the previous two years working beneath Schumaker in Miami. It was reported final month that the Marlins wouldn’t be retaining any of their teaching workers, presumably letting Schumaker’s eventual substitute have some say over how their subsequent workers could be composed. Urueta obtained some consideration for the managerial gig in Miami, which remains to be open, however it now appears he might be heading to Texas with Schumaker.

As talked about, the Rangers have had each Ecker and Venable on the teaching workers lately. Ecker was employed as bench coach and offensive coordinator going into 2022 and Venable was employed as affiliate supervisor going into 2023. With Venable leaving and Urueta coming in as bench coach, it’s unclear how this can impression Ecker. Maybe Ecker may shift into Venable’s position, although that’s mere hypothesis at this level. Extra particulars will certainly emerge within the days to come back.
