Report: Tim Bogar runaway favorite to be hired as Rangers' manager

The Texas Rangers reportedly like what they see with interim manager Tim Bogar. 

Bogar took over managerial duties following Ron Washington's shocking decision to resign earlier in the month as a result of "not being true to his wife." In 14 games under Bogar, the Rangers are 8-6, including a seven-game winning streak that was snapped by the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. 

The 47-year-old joined the Rangers as their bench coach prior to this season and has spent time with both the Boston Red Sox as a first and third base coach and Tampa Bay Rays as a coaching assistant. Bogar has also been named manager of the year in three different minor league levels.
