"Not with the Marlins, naturally. Yet, after a year spent in the Texas Rangers' front office, the 2023 NL Manager of the Year winner is widely expected to return to managing sooner than later. You'd be hardpressed to find a report mentioning the news that Bruce Bochy would not be returning to the Rangers in 2026 that didn't also include the tidbit that Schumaker was already a part of the organization."
"However, it isn't just the Rangers that suddenly find themselves looking for a new skipper (pun coming). No, that list includes a staggering seven other clubs, including two West Coast organizations. Who's on the list? That'd be the Angels, Giants, Rockies, Nationals, Twins, Orioles...and the Braves. Yep, start gulping Marlins fans. Skip Schumaker could be coming back with a vengeance to an NL East rival near you."
"At this point, it should be stressed that there has been plenty of smoke to those Rangers rumors. A big part of the appeal to the organizational role Schumaker took with the Rangers last year was that his son Brody was due to begin attending TCU in 2026. So the family ties that previously made the West Coast so enticing as a potential Schumaker destination aren't necessarily going to be there anymore, and are likely strongest for that job opening in Arlington."
One year after managing the Miami Marlins, Skip Schumaker appears poised to return to a major league dugout following a season in the Texas Rangers' front office. Multiple clubs are reportedly seeking new managers, creating a list of eight potential openings that includes the Rangers, Angels, Giants, Rockies, Nationals, Twins, Orioles and Braves. Family considerations influenced Schumaker's move to the Rangers, as his son Brody is slated to begin at TCU in 2026, making Arlington an attractive destination, though West Coast jobs remain plausible due to prior family preference.
