The Texas Rangers won't bring back pitching coach Mike Maddux next season.

Maddux, who spent seven seasons with the Rangers, had been among six coaches invited to return and was previously offered a new contract that he had not signed.

Jon Daniels said he and manager Jeff Banister met with Maddux "to inform him we had decided to go in another direction." The pitching coach's brother, Greg Maddux, is also leaving after serving four years as special assistant to Daniels.
