Evan Grant has a piece up with some questions and answers about what this deal means as far as the Rangers go.
In particular, Grant suggests that Nolan Ryan's role will actually increase with Chuck Greenberg taking over...he indicates that Ryan wasn't as aggressive or forceful in imposing his will last year, because of the organization being in flux, but now that he's part of an ownership group and is secure in his position, Ryan will be more likely to "assert his stances."
