Rangers fire Narron
after last place finish
NARRON
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
Jerry Narron was fired as
manager of the Texas Rangers
on Tuesday after the team’s third
straight last-place finish in the
AL West.
Narron went 134-162 after
taking over in May 2001, includ
ing a 72-90 mark this season. He
replaced Johnny Oates after the
team started 11-17 last year.
“This has
been a very
difficult deci
sion because I
like and
respect Jerry
Narron,”
Texas general
manager John
Hart said. “But
we have to
make some tough decisions now.
Our fans deserve better than the
record and perfonnance of the
2002 Texas Rangers.”
Narron is the fifth manager
fired since Sunday, the last day
of the regular season. The New
York Mets fired Bobby
Valentine on Tuesday, while the
Cubs’ Bruce Kimm, Tampa
Bay’s Hal McRae and Detroit’s
Luis Pujols also were dismissed.
Hart spent several hours
Monday and Tuesday meeting
with owner Tom Hicks and
assistant general manager Grady
Fuson about the future of the
team. Hart said he made the deci
sion Monday night.
“I would like there to be a dif
ferent voice as we establish a dif
ferent culture and a different
era," he said.
Narron drove home to North
Carolina after Sunday’s season
ending game. He had one
year left on a two-year deal
signed two months after he
replaced Oates.
Narron did not immediately
return a telephone call.
“I am convinced that John
and Grady have made a thorough
and complete evaluation in
reaching the decision to change
managers,” Hicks said.
The Rangers also fired trainer
Danny Wheat after 1 1 seasons.
Wheat joined the organization in
1976 and had been with the big-
league team since 1985.
Texas struggled all season,
even with All-Star shortstop Alex
Rodriguez hitting .300 and lead
ing the majors with 57 homers
and 142 RBls, and an opening-
day payroll of $105 million.
Part of the problem was
injuries. The Rangers had 17
players spend a team-record
1,429 days on the disabled
list, including closer Jeff
Zimmerman, two-time AL MVP
Juan Gonzalez, 10-time All-Star
catcher Ivan Rodriguez, and
expected No. 1 starter Chan
Ho Park.
Narron used 51 players,
including a club-record 27
pitchers.
“This season has certainly
been very frustrating and painful
for all of us,” Hart said. “Injuries
have obviously played a major
factor, but there are a number of
areas in which we need to
change and improve.”
Possible replacements
include bench coach Terry
Francona, pitching coach Orel
Hershiser, and Buddy Bell.
Another candidate could be for
mer Cleveland manager Charlie
Manuel, who worked for Hart
with the Indians.
Hart said there would be
“some sense of urgency’’ to find
a replacement. He said he’d start
with a short list of candidates
from inside and outside the orga
nization, and that not all would
have managerial experience.
Narron came to Texas as a
third-base coach in 1995, then
became manager when Johnny
Oates resigned after an 11-17
start in 2001.
He was promoted by then-
general manager Doug Melvin,
who was fired following the
2001 season. Melvin recently
became the GM in Milwaukee.
His departure cuts one of the
final front-office ties to the
Texas teams that won division
titles in 1996, 1998 and 1999.
Those are the only postseason
appearances in franchise history.
“There’s a certain level of
comfort that’s here, a certain part
of that is the tail end of a terrific
era that we tried to extend. At the
same time, we knew what we
had to do,’’ Hart said.
Texas lost 13 of its last 16
games, including a closing 1-9
road trip against playoff teams
Oakland and Anaheim, and
Seattle. The Rangers finished 31
games behind the AL West
champion Athletics.
“He was in a tough situation
this year, without a doubt,”
Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers
said before the season ended.
“He’s done very well at it, but
they go by what you do on the
field, and we weren’t a very
good team on the field. Without
a doubt, no one person is
to blame for what went

Mavericks, sign Redd
hope to keep Wang
DALLAS (AP) — In about two
weeks, the Dallas Mavericks will
know whether they’ve lured
Michael Redd and whether they’ve
lost Wang Zhizhi.
The Mavericks signed Redd, a
Milwaukee guard who set an NBA
record with eight 3-pointers in one
quarter last season, to an offer
sheet late Monday. The Bucks
have 15 days to match it, work out
a sign-and-trade deal or lose him
without compensation.
Also Monday, Wang signed a
three-year offer sheet with the Los
Angeles Clippers. The Mavs face
the same options and Donnie
Nelson, the team’s president of
basketball operations, said all
three are being considered.
“We're not going to lose him out
right,” Nelson told the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, which reported the
offer-sheet signing in its Tuesday
editions. “We are trying to come to
some win-win situation.”
The 7-foot-l Wang averaged 5.6
points in 55 games last season.
The Mavericks made Wang the
first Asian-born player in the NBA,
but relations between the two have
been a bit strained by his refusal to
return to China after the end of last
season to join the national team.
Redd was a second-round pick by
the Bucks in 2000 and played just
six games that season because of
a knee problem. He played 67
games last season, starting eight,
and ranked eighth in the NBA in 3-
point percentage at .444. His
record-setting performance came
against Houston in a game when
he scored a career-high 29 points.
On Tuesday, the Mavericks also
announced the signing of guards
Raja Bell and Adam Harrington,
forward Derek Hood and center
Kip Christianson, just in time for
the start of training camp.
Bell played the last two seasons
with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Harrington was undrafted after
leaving Auburn following his junior
season.
