UPDATE, 11:59 a.m. Wednesday: As reported Tuesday night, the Texas Rangers will not retain bullpen coach Brad Holman.

Filling that post is Hector Ortiz, who served as the Rangers' first base coach. The 2017 season was Ortiz's 12th in the Rangers organization and his third as the major league club's first base coach.

Josh Bonifay, brought in as major league field coordinator for 2017, will return to the organization in a role to be determined.

Original story follows

Baseball is a game of results and consequences.

The Rangers bullpen didn't get results in 2017 and the man in charge will pay the consequences. A source confirmed Tuesday night that the Rangers will make at least one change to the coaching staff this offseason: Bullpen coach Brad Holman will not be retained.

General manager Jon Daniels declined to comment on the state of the coaching staff Tuesday. It is unclear if any other coaches will not be retained or if there will be shifting of any coaching duties. Daniels and manager Jeff Banister are scheduled to have a season wrap-up press conference Wednesday. They have spent the last two days in meetings and doing exit interviews.

Holman, 49, had been the Rangers bullpen coach the last two years, succeeding Andy Hawkins. He had been with the Rangers nine years, working his way through three stops in the club's farm system before being hired to assist pitching coach Doug Brocail. While Brocail was hired under manager Jeff Banister's recommendation, Holman was promoted from within the organization.

The Rangers have long wanted to promote their own player development staff. Holman, assistant hitting coach Justin Mashore, bench coach Steve Buechele and first base coach Hector Ortiz on this year's staff were all promoted from within the organizational ranks.

But the bullpen struggled out of the starting blocks in each of the last two years. It stabilized in 2016, particularly after Sam Dyson was made closer and Matt Bush was promoted. But Dyson stumbled and was eventually traded to San Francisco and Bush had a setback in his first full season. The Rangers had 17 blown saves in the first half of the season and finished with the worst save percentage (58 percent) in the AL. They ranked 14th of 15 teams in relief ERA (4.64) and had tied for the fourth most walks allowed (227).
