Confirming this report now from @Ken_Rosenthal that Chris Young and Bruce Bochy met on Thursday in Nashville. Do not know if this qualifies as an "interview" or "feeling out process." https://t.co/bgleCsIVC5

Young, who is from Texas, pitched for the San Diego Padres from 2006-2010. Bochy was his manager in 2006.
Bochy, 67, went to manage the San Francisco Giants in 2007. He later won three World Series with the team.
Bochy has not managed in MLB since 2019 but has interest in returning.
The Rangers are looking for a new manager after firing Chris Woodward during the season.
