Confirmed: Reid Ryan to become next Team President

Jon Heyman is reporting that Reid Ryan will be the next Astros Team President.

Heyman:
Ryan was first reported by Houston TV broadcaster Marc Berman of FOX 26 Sports to be a "strong candidate'' for the top Astros job, and people familiar with the situation say, in fact, he is the likely successor to Postolos, who resigned this week after a short term as team president.

According to a Person Who Has Had Dealings With The Younger Ryan:
"He's very bright and would be great in that role,'' said a person who's had dealings with the younger Ryan. "He's an out-front personality and good operator.''

Heyman also mentions that Postolos may have been forced out, and that the CSN Houston deal led to the friction creating his ouster.

Brian McTaggart has confirmed that Reid Ryan will be the next Astros Team President.
