Our main man John Hickey has some more names who might be candidates to replace the departed Chili Davis: Rick Schu (Nationals), Kevin Seitzer (Blue Jays), Paul Molitor (Twins), Marcus Jensen, Greg Sparks and Webster Garrison (all A's minor-league coaches). Hickey mentions the former three because they were all hitting coaches under Bob Melvin in the past. In other words, it appears that Hickey is speculating, not reporting, but sometimes (not just with Hickey), it's hard to tell.

Anyway, Hickey also notes that "With the hiring of a new manager, Jeff Bannister, all Rangers coaches have been told they are free to explore other options," so that explains the Dave Magadan part. Though it isn't clear what would happen to Magadan if he didn't get a job elsewhere. Is "free to explore" = "we're not renewing your contract"?
