Rangers GM Chris Young signed a multiyear agreement to remain with the club, which also sees him promoted to President of Baseball Operations. Young’s original four-year deal was scheduled to expire at the end of October. The “industry standard for long-term extensions has become five years," but details of executive deals are “held closely.” Rangers owner Ray Davis “maintained since the start of the season that an extension for Young was merely a formality of sitting down and hammering it out.” He “never had any intent of allowing Young’s deal to lapse” (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 9/13).
