Bruce Bochy and the Texas Rangers announced on Monday evening what has been expected for the past several months when the two parties said they like each other, but not enough to stay together.

Not quite Keith Urban/Nicole Kidman-level split, but a split nonetheless.

While announcing that Bochy’s run as the team’s manager is over, they announced that they have offered the 70-year-old future Hall of Famer a spot with their club as an advisor. Don’t expect him to take it.

He sounds like a man who wants to remain on the bench, and there are openings already with other big league clubs. However this tenure ended, Bochy did what he was hired to do by leading the club to its first ever World Series. The Rangers don’t win that title without Bochy.

On a conference call with the local media on Monday night, Rangers GM Chris Young said, “Boch’ will forever be a legend in Texas Rangers history.”

Forget Texas Rangers history. Bruce Bochy led the Rangers to a World Series title. That makes him an American legend, a baseball hero.

Lots of rumors about clubhouse drama for the rangers this year and they were much less competitive than they should have been. If either party really wanted Boch to stay I think it would have happened but I bet management was just soured enough and Bochy didn’t want to put up with the bs for another season.

How do you figure evil?
They have a lot of good talent that wasn't properly managed last season. We got rid of some bad relief pitchers. Third base coach rightfully let go. With Buster as team president he could step into the roll but I don't he will. Bochy would take the job I think but maybe there is someone else out there that Buster (not his real first name) would prefer. Bochy and me we born about fifteen minutes apart as far as I can reckon.
Plus Orical park is one of the best paces to watch a game in all MLB.
