No. 3: Texas Rangers

After spending more than half a billion dollars on free agents like Corey Seager and Marcs Semien, the club has once again been one of the worst in baseball, currently sitting at 66-90 and have already fired manager Chris Woodward.

Team owner Ray Davis has already committed to spending again in 2023, and with an improving farm system and deep pockets, Schumaker could see Texas as an attractive rebuild that would bring him close to home. The Rangers play in a difficult division with the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners, but have an opportunity to rise to contention soon.

Schumaker may receive a longer leash in a place like Texas rather than struggling contenders like the Phillies or White Sox, allowing him to establish a culture and build toward a winning club. Texas is not the best job available by any means, but could fit enough of the criteria that Schumaker is looking for.
