ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers have told manager Ron Washington that they want him back after this season.

Washington is in his fourth season, the last on his current contract.

Team president Nolan Ryan, whose group is expected to be approved next week as the team’s new owners, says Washington’s contract will be addressed “at the appropriate time” and that the manager is comfortable with that.

AL West-leading Texas has improved its record each season under Washington, who is 304-290 overall.

There was no extension last year despite 87 wins and a second-place finish in the AL West. But Ryan stuck by Washington last summer after the manager admitted to using cocaine once, a revelation that became public during spring training.
