They’d been in talks for months seemingly, and finally came to an agreement.
Showalter will take over a team that has the worst record in baseball at 31-70, but he has a lot of expirience in rebuilding teams.
Showalter has twice been named manager of the year, once in 1994 with the Yankees, who he helped build back up after a down period, and once in 2004 with the Texas Rangers.
Overall Showwalter has a major league managing record of 882-833.
