Ron Washington led the Rangers to two World Series.

While neither of those teams won a championship, getting there helped prove that Washington has the managerial chops to lead a contender.

Washington, who resigned from his post as Rangers manager late in the 2014 season, has an itch to manage again. And yet, nobody’s calling.

He interviewed for the Braves’ managerial vacancy in 2016 and ultimately became Atlanta’s third-base coach -- a role Washington had previously held with the Oakland Athletics on two occasions. Washington also reportedly interviewed for the San Diego Padres’ manager position last fall.

Since then, no interest. Washington said as much during a recent interview on the MLB Network.

“Well, you know, I really would love to manage again but my phone hasn’t rung. ... I certainly would like to get back in that dugout and lead a ball club possibly back to a World Series. I’m just waiting for my phone to ring.”

Three manager positions recently opened up across the league in the wake of the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal. The Astros fired manager A.J. Hinch. The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, who was an Astros bench coach when the sign stealing occurred in 2017. Carlos Beltran, who played with the Astros in 2017, mutually parted ways with the New York Mets before ever managing a game.

It is unlikely, however, that Washington fills any of these vacancies. Given the proximity to spring training, he will most likely remain with the Braves through the 2020 season.

But if the phone does ring... sounds like there won’t be much hesitation.
