Richard “look Astros President Tal Smith ’hursday. b are hopeful of being able to (Nolan Ryan and it does look j” Smith said after a newspaper [ted Houston’s signing of the irnia Angels right-hander was |nent. : newspaper said highly placed tall sources indicated Ryan sign a four-year, $4 million contract. Smith’s only other comment was that talks were progressing. Ryan was quoted in the Houston Post Thursday as saying, “I’ve pretty well made a decision. I have one team in mind. I’m not going to com ment on the team. I’ll let the club make it’s announcement.” Astros owner John McMullen of New York planned to fly to Houston Monday. Since declaring his free agentry, Ryan had said he was interested in playing for either Houston, the New York Yankees, Texas or Milwaukee. Brewers General Manager Harry Dalton said he thought Ryan would sign with Houston “because we ha ven’t heard from him.” Ryan, 32, lives in Alvin, 30 miles from Houston. His signing with Houston would pair the major league’s two strikeout kings. Richard fanned 313 batters last season to lead the majors and Ryan led the American League with 223 strikeouts. Richard, 29, recently signed a four-year extension of his contract. Ryan would be the first free agent signed by the Astros. The sale of the team to millionaire shipbuilder McMullen last spring made it possi ble for the Astros to enter the free agent market for the first time.
