Former SFGiants manager Bruce Bochy, who led the club to three World Series titles, returns to Oracle Park tonight as manager of the Texas Rangers, who have most potent offense in baseball and the third-best record in MLB.
Bochy's exit was neat, and he soon moved to Nashville to be closer to his grandchildren. There was plenty of golf and fishing over the next couple of years, but Bochy always kept an eye on the game, and last offseason he found the perfect spot for one last ride on the top step of the dugout.
When Bochy stepped away, the early speculation had him ending up back in San Diego at some point, with the two New York teams also rumored as potential options. But in Arlington, Bochy has found a perfect match. The Rangers made it a relatively easy one. They added Seager and Semien to the heart of the lineup before last season and then bolstered the pitching staff as they were wooing Bochy. At the deadline, the Rangers added Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery, although the Giants won't see either this weekend.
