GM Daniels Locked Up Through 2011
Quote:
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Jon Daniels received a two-year contract extension running through the 2011 season as the Rangers general manager on Friday.
Daniels was the youngest general manager in Major League history at 28 years, 41 days when he was appointed the Rangers general manager on Oct. 4, 2005.
Daniels received his contract extension the same day the Rangers finalized a four-year contract with Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan as club president.
"Our relationship has been very good to this point," Ryan said. "I think it will stay that way. I'm not a micromanager. I'm a believer that people are given latitude and do their jobs. That's the way I'm going to approach this. I've enjoyed working with him and getting to know him.
"I think what it [contract extension] says is that Jon is very capable as general manager. We want to work to establish a working relationship that we look as a long-term relationship. I've probably spent more time with him than anybody in the organization. I think he's very thorough. I think he's very intelligent and that he has a passion. I think if you're going to be in this game and be successful you have to have a passion for it. If you don't have a passion, it won't work."
