Gotta pay for those sunflower seeds and KoolsThe Texas Rangers -- as expected -- was extended for another two years. His current deal expired after 2012. He's signed on through 2014.
Whether this is a comment on Washington or the Texas Rangers as an organization, the Rangers might be locking up their all-time greatest manager, statistically and realistically.
Averaging 77 wins a season through 2012 and 2013, Ron Washington will be the all-time winning Texas Rangers manager (he's 154 behind Bobby Valentine) and with 79 wins in 2012, he'll overtake Johnny Oates, who is considered the organization's greatest manager. For any manager that's coached more than 500 games, Wash has the best winning percentage of any Rangers skipper.
Realistically, Wash has already overtaken Oates or Valentine. Two division titles in five years, two 90-win seasons, three winning seasons and two pennants. Again, maybe it's a comment on the Rangers as a crummy organization or the talent, but Washington's the best the Rangers have had, even if he never managed another game.
