The Texas Rangers will retain hitting coach Dave Magadan for the 2015 season.

Magadan met with team officials Thursday in Surprise, Ariz., and after "a getting to know you" session with new manager Jeff Banister, it was agreed by all parties involved he should stay.

Magadan, who has one year left on his contract, said contract talks for an extension weren't discussed.

The Rangers are trying to finalize their coaching staff, and in addition to retaining Magadan, who had spoken to several other clubs about employment, pitching coach Mike Maddux's status remains unsettled.

Maddux's contract ends at the end of October and while he's highly thought of, he needed to have conversations with Banister.
