2. Michael Young

Michael Young works in the Texas Rangers front office, could he transition to a managerial role?

Always a great leader on the field and setting the tone during his playing days, Michael Young could be a strong candidate to become the next manager of the Texas Rangers.

Young is popular with the fans and the organization clearly likes having him around, seeing as he now occupies a front office role with the Rangers. That also would seem to indicate that Young still wants to have a presence in the game of baseball.

However, Young has also made it abundantly clear in the past that managing doesn’t interest him in the slightest, citing family time as a reason to remain in his current role instead of getting back to the everyday grind that comes with being a manager.

Still, these are different circumstances, and with a team on the rise, perhaps this is the right time for Young to reconsider the prospect of becoming an MLB manager, and specifically of the Texas Rangers.
