ALCS Game 2 Astros and Rangers Manager Post Game Press Conferences
Rangers general manager Chris Young says “these old managers who have lasted last because they evolve and they’re open-minded and they grow.”ARLINGTON, Texas — — When Texas rookie Evan Carter was born in 2002, Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker had been managing in the big leagues for a decade andThe ages of MLB managers have been declining in the last few years, with 22 under 60 at the start of the 2023 season.
After Baker was fired by the Nationals following a 97-win season in 2017, he wondered if he’d ever get another shot. He thought his age — and salary demands commensurate with his experience — was keeping teams away. “I guess it’s good for the old guys that we’re in this situation,” Bochy said. “But that might be why I got a call, I don’t know, because of the success of some veteran managers.”
Rangers GM Chris Young said people asked him about hiring an “old-school manager” when he brought Bochy to Texas this offseason. He pushed back on the assertion that Bochy was old school simply because he was old. “It’s pretty unreal and no wonder why they’re having the success they’re having — I think Bochy’s a big part of what’s going on over there,” Dubón said. “He treats the players how they should be treated. Dusty does the same thing. So, it’s heaven, in a sense as a player, just because they treat the players the right way.”“He’ll pull your ears and ground you,” Dubón joked. “But he does it because he cares about you and he wants you to be good.
After a 19-year playing career, Baker has managed 4,046 regular-season games over 26 seasons with the Giants, Cubs, Reds, Nationals and Astros. Bochy, who played for nine seasons, also has managed 26 seasons, with 4,194 games with the Padres, Giants and Rangers.
