Rangers Hire Chris Young As General Manager

The Rangers have hired Chris Young as their new general manager, Ken
Rosenthal and Levi Weaver of The Athletic report. Jon Daniels will stay on as
the team’s president of baseball operations.
This is out-of-nowhere news, as there was no indication Daniels would step
aside as the Rangers’ GM this offseason. It’s a role Daniels has held since
2005. While Daniels is now 43, he became the youngest GM in league history
when he got the job at the age of 28. The Rangers have since earned five
playoff berths and won two American League pennants, though they have fallen
on hard times in recent years. The team hasn’t finished above .500 since
2016, and it will reduce payroll heading into 2021, making an immediate
return to contention even more difficult.
The Rangers are hoping the addition of Young to their front office will make
it easier to return to relevance sometime soon. The 41-year-old is a former
major league right-hander and a Princeton alumnus who began his career with
the Rangers from 2004-05 before Daniels traded him to the Padres. Since he
hung up his spikes in 2017, Young has been working in the MLB office, first
as the league’s vice president of on-field operations, initiatives and
strategy. He took on an even bigger role this year after chief baseball
officer Joe Torre moved into an advisory position.
Young recently interviewed for the Mets’ GM job, but he dropped out of the
running because he did not want to relocate his family. The Dallas resident
will now get an opportunity to help lead a local franchise.
