Ryan parts ways with Rangers

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Surprised nobody commented on this here.

He left both the Astros and Rangers are fairly unhappy terms.

Is he done. Can Arte make him anything.

He's finally that free agent again if you will. It's like 79 all over again.

Can't you bring him in as something. Make him Tommy-esque?

Or are we past that rodeo?

Lol

I don't see Ryan leaving the state of Texas.  He has no need to.  It is clear he has trouble playing well with others though.

[Lhalo]

I think bringing him here would just add another act to our current circus. Pass.

[arch stanton]

He's still my all time favorite but if he can't take the ball every fifth day then what's the point?

[greginpsca]

He will probably go back to being a minor league team owner.

Have you seen our rotation?

[YouthofToday]

If be more interested in Daniels than Ryan. Pass.

[sneaky_flute]

I don't think it's a matter of his not getting along with others. He probably wanted a bigger role than merely being a "figurehead" of the organization.

Maybe Ryan is just a dick

[The God of Runs]

I'd only want Arte to hire Ryan if he can also hire Robin Ventura

[ELEVEN]

Give him the #5 slot. What's the harm?

Ryan at his age > blanton, hunter, every other piece of crap we ran out there not named Wilson, Weaver, Vargas

[mrwicked]

can he play 3B?

I thought Ryan said he was stepping away for good?

And just like that, the Rangers become a little less hateable.

Forbes says he is losing money on his investment.

I feel exactly the opposite

[mrwicked]

buying and selling in 3 years at a loss... not the wisest of investment strategies.

especially when the team has been very productive and just signed a new TV deal.

For me Ryan was one of the few guys in the organization I actually admired.

How did Ron Washington survive longer than Nolan Ryan?
