Corey Seager Shares Selfless Message to Texas Rangers’ New Manager Skip Schumaker: “We’ll Work Together to Take This Team to the Next Level”
ARLINGTON, Texas — October 5, 2025 — Texas Rangers superstar Corey Seager has sent a powerful, selfless message to the club’s newly appointed manager Skip Schumaker, expressing full support and a shared vision for the franchise’s future.
Following the official announcement of Schumaker as the Rangers’ new skipper, Seager—who remains one of the team’s cornerstone leaders—spoke about unity, trust, and the mission to bring the Rangers back to championship contention.
“Skip’s the kind of leader who earns respect through his work ethic and honesty,” Seager said in a statement released through the team. “We’ve all got one goal—to take this team to the next level—and I’m all in. We’ll work together to make that happen.”
The message carries extra weight as the Rangers transition from the Bruce Bochy era, following the veteran manager’s decision to step away after guiding Texas to its first World Series title in 2023. Schumaker, the 2023 National League Manager of the Year with the Miami Marlins, is expected to bring a balance of modern analytics and player-focused leadership.
Seager, 31, remains under contract through 2031 and is recovering from minor offseason procedures after being shut down late in the 2025 season. Despite his injuries, he’s been a consistent locker-room presence, emphasizing team chemistry and accountability.
“We’ve got a special group here,” Seager added. “When everyone buys in, good things happen. I know Skip believes in that kind of baseball.”
Team sources say Schumaker has already been in contact with several core players, including Seager, Marcus Semien, and Wyatt Langford, discussing plans for a strong 2026 campaign built around disciplined defense and a deeper offensive approach.
Schumaker, known for his intense preparation and strong communication skills, praised Seager’s leadership.
“Corey’s one of those guys who sets the tone without having to say much,” Schumaker said. “When your best players are team-first guys, it makes everything easier.”
For the Rangers, Seager’s words symbolize more than just veteran leadership—they mark a renewed sense of purpose for a club eager to return to October baseball.
As spring training approaches, both Seager and Schumaker seem determined to prove that the championship window in Texas is far from closed.
