Rangers Chairman Neil Leibman Leaving Role With Team

The Texas Rangers have announced that chairman Neil Leibman will step away from his role with the team to focus on other business opportunities, effective immediately.

Leibman has served in many different roles over the last 16 years with the Rangers, but most recently oversaw both the Rangers Sports Network and REV Entertainment. 

“Neil has been a constant with the Rangers since our group purchased the club in 2010,” said Rangers Majority Owner Ray Davis.

“He was part of some of the most significant moments in franchise history and played a large role in our business operations. His contributions to the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation will be part of his legacy, as will the building of Globe Life Field and development efforts in the Arlington Entertainment District. Neil has been a friend and business partner for many years, and we wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

For now, Leibman's responsibilities will be handled by current staff. Any additional changes in Rangers management structure will be addressed at a later date.

“It has been an honor and privilege to serve for many years with this ownership group and front office,” Leibman said.

“I am grateful for the opportunity and will cherish everything we have accomplished together. The Rangers have made tremendous progress on numerous fronts during this ownership tenure, and I am proud to have been a part of the most successful period in franchise history. With several other business opportunities on the horizon, I look forward to devoting more time to those efforts.”

Leibman was an original member of the ownership group that purchased the Rangers in August 2010 and was appointed Chairman of the Rangers Ownership Committee in 2023. He will keep his ownership stake in the team.
