Texas Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan said in a radio appearance on Monday that things are going smoothly in Arlington following an offseason filled with questions about his future.
Ryan appeared for close to 30 minutes on the "Galloway and Company Show" on ESPN-FM 103.3.
He also addressed a developing situation in Houston, where Astros team president George Postolos resigned. Ryan was twice asked if he had any interest in talking to the Astros. He didn't completely overrule the possibility.
"I don't think so, how's that?" he said when asked if he had any interest. "No, I'm sure they'll fill it with the right person."
Ryan said things are going well for the Rangers, who are 24-13 and six games in front of Oakland in the American League West.
"Things are going smoothly with the organization and with the relationships in the front office," Ryan said.
Ryan was asked if he was ever close to leaving the Rangers during spring training.
"Some days were better than others," he said.
