“Today, I have submitted my resignation from the job I love – managing the Rangers — in order to devote my full attention to addressing an off-the-field personal matter,” Washington said in a statement. “As painful as it is, stepping away from the game is what’s best for me and my family.
The Rangers have the worst record in MLB at 53-87. I hope that everything is ok with Ron Washington and that he can get through whatever personal matter that he is currently dealing with.
