"Veteran pitching coach Mike Maddux has already left the Rangers to become the Angels' new pitching coach, and now some other members of the Texas staff are on the way out. Third base coach Tony Beasley and co-hitting coach Bret Boone aren't expected back with the team in 2026, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. Replacements may come from within, as Grant writes that first base coach Corey Ragsdale will change roles and take over from Beasley as the third base coach."
"Beasley was the longest-tenured member of the Texas staff, having been hired as a coach back in 2015 and working in a few different roles under multiple managers. One of those roles was as an interim skipper himself, as Beasley stepped in as manager for the last 48 games of the Rangers' 2022 season after Chris Woodward was fired."
"According to Grant, Beasley is expected to look for a job with another team. It isn't clear if Boone will continue to pursue his coaching career or if he might return to retirement and his podcasting job. When hired in May, Boone made it clear that he was eager to work with his former manager and longtime friend Bochy, so it could be that Boone is now moving on since Bochy won't be back as the Rangers' skipper."
Mike Maddux has departed the Rangers to become the Angels' pitching coach. Tony Beasley and Bret Boone are not expected to return to the Rangers in 2026, prompting a reshuffle of the coaching staff. First base coach Corey Ragsdale will move to third base coach and Justin Viele will become the lead hitting coach. Alex Cintron is viewed as a strong candidate for assistant hitting coach while Seth Conner's future remains uncertain. Beasley joined the staff in 2015, served as interim manager for the final 48 games of 2022, and won a World Series ring in 2023. Beasley is expected to seek employment elsewhere; Boone's next steps are uncertain.
