George Postolos has resigned as president and CEO of the Houston Astros. The team announced the decision yesterday before it opened a series in Detroit. Postolos had been Astros president and CEO since November 2011.
Nolan Ryan says he let speculation about his future with the Texas Rangers go on for weeks because he “needed to visit” with owners Bob Simpson and Ray Davis to get a better understanding of his role in the front office. Ryan’s statement came almost six weeks after the club announced he was no longer team president. General manager Jon Daniels and chief operating officer Rick George were promoted and given presidential titles. Ryan says he now has a clear idea of his role and “everything’s going smoothly.”
