Jon Daniels is out as president of baseball operations for the Texas Rangers after 17 years leading the club.
Team owner Ray Davis said Wednesday that Daniels was being relieved of his duties immediately after the decision was made not to renew his contract at the end of this season.
Daniels' departure came two days after manager Chris Woodward was fired in his fourth season.
Daniels was the youngest general manager ever in the majors when he got the job with the Rangers at age 28 in October 2005. He added the title of president of baseball operations in 2013 and held both titles until Chris Young was brought in as the team's general manager in December 2020.
