- The Texas Rangers hired Bret Boone, former three-time All-Star infielder, as their new hitting coach on May 5, 2025, ahead of a game in Boston on May 6.
- The move followed Donnie Ecker's firing on May 4 due to prolonged scoring struggles, as the Rangers ranked last in AL runs with 113 and OPS of.643.
- Boone, 56, played 14 MLB seasons from 1992 to 2005 for five teams, including Seattle where he led the AL with 141 RBIs in 2001, and will join Tuesday's series opener at Fenway Park.
- The Rangers won 8-1 Sunday but had scored only 30 runs over a 2-9 stretch and rank 14th in batting average and second-lowest in AL OPS , highlighting offensive challenges.
- Boone's contract runs through 2025; the Rangers expect him to help revitalize their offense while re-evaluating team goals by season's end amid a 17-18 record this year.
