How does this impact the baseball club?

It will clearly be Ryan’s team. He took his first season on the job to evaluate the operation and made few changes. In his second, it became clear the organization was in flux and it wasn’t certain whether Ryan would even stick around, so he didn’t impose his will on anyone. If the sale goes through, there will be more stability and Ryan, not the confrontational type, will feel more secure in asserting his stances.

Will Greenberg and Ryan have money to spend?

A week ago, it appeared that if their bid, as it was submitted, was accepted and processed quickly, they might be able to inject an extra $5 million or so into payroll for this season. But that was before they tweaked their bid one last time to win negotiating rights. It’s unknown whether a more lucrative bid means less money for personnel upgrades.

It now reads:

It appeared a week ago that if their bid, as it was submitted, had been accepted and processed quickly, they might have been able to inject extra cash into the payroll before the start of the season. The reality is that by the time they get approved, the team will probably be in Arizona. It may make adding payroll in-season a little more realistic than it’s been in recent years.

That Evan Grant article is pretty sobering.
A week ago, it appeared that if their bid, as it was submitted, was accepted and processed quickly, they might be able to inject an extra $5 million or so into payroll for this season.

5 million in payroll? That’s it? If they only have a max of $5 million to spend…and that’s with us having one of the lowest payrolls in baseball…we may be looking at a pretty (comparatively) poor owner.

$5 million in payroll to the 2009 payroll would manage to move the Rangers up one measly slot from 22nd to 21st. Although at least we wouldn’t have a lower payroll than the freaking Kansas City anymore.

The $80 million payroll people keep talking about is $12 million away…

It seemed like there was still some money left even after the recent signings.

If all lawyers

Made the sort of bank which facilitated baseball team ownership, there’s no doubt AJM and Newberg would own this thing now.

Question: who would be GM and who would be club President?

If The Newberg and The Morris owned this things, they’d get into a shouting match this offseason over whether to sign Marlon Byrd or Mike Cameron to a lifetime contract.

Nolan

Nolan would stay President, that’s why he’s sided with Greenburg.

Hi, Keith. Is this the year Edinson Volquez finally wins RoY?

My question is who would hold each position if The Newberg and The Morris owned the club

Nolan Ryan

As long as he stays as President, and ownership tries to spend the mony it takes to win, I’ll be happy.

Greenberg to Hicks:

You’re fucking OUT, and I’m fucking IN.

If you aren’t moved by this deal, then you must want the terrorists to win.
