"The reign of Texas Rangers' owner Chuck Greenberg was a short-lived one, as the Pittsburgh lawyer is poised to resign his position of CEO as soon as Friday, reports the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram (CBS Sports)."
There is no official word on why he is stepping down, but most reports seem to lean towards the theory that there was pressure from the MLB for him to step down.
"Greenberg made headlines during the World Series when he commented on how awful he felt Yankee fans were during the ALCS. He would later draw the ire of New York president Randy Levine over the winter for seemingly innocuous comments on Texas' pursuit of Cliff Lee (CBS Sports)."
If that is the case that's kind of messed up. He shouldn't be forced out because people don't like his comments. Still, I think it was only a matter of time before Nolan Ryan was running everything anyways. Ryan puts a face to that franchise that and that is something I think the MLB would really want.
