According to Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com, the Rangers and manager Ron Washington have agreed to a two-year contract extension. The new deal will carry him through the 2014 season. The extension is well-deserved, as Washington owns a 427-383 record (.527) over his first five seasons at the helm in Texas, including back-to-back American League pennants.
