Rangers Say “Goodbye” to Long-Time Hitting Coach Rudy Jaramillo

Over the past 15 years with the Rangers, Rudy Jaramillo built his reputation as one of the top hitting coaches in all of baseball.  But after turning down a one-year offer to return to the Rangers in 2010, Jaramillo is now a “coaching free agent” and will look to continue his career with a different major league team.   The Rangers offer of $545,000 would have kept Jaramillo atop the list of the highest-paid hitting coach in baseball.

At age 59, Jaramillo had spent 26 of his 31 seasons in pro baseball with the Rangers organization.

“I was hopeful and expecting that he would accept our offer, but I understand that he has put himself in a position that everyone in the game hopes to achieve, where you’ve got options,” said Rangers general manager Jon Daniels.  “He is, if not the best, certainly one of the best in his field.  He’s at a point where he’s got choices to make and I’ve got to respect that.  He felt that it was time for him to see what was out there.  Arguably (it is) a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
