Other bidders invited to Rangers sale Mediation table

Daniel Kaplan is tweeting that the failed bidders have been invited to sit at the table with the Rangers and the federal mediator:

Breaking News: Spurned Texas Rangers bidders invited to federal mediation: more in SBD today

Craig Calcaterra has some comments on the new development:

No matter the case, having the bidders around and, more or less, on the record, would make any final disposition in the case a lot neater inasmuch no one could later complain that a low or inadequate bidder won. They'd actually have to say something official and out in the open. Ultimately, that makes for a more transparent process.

Kaplan will supposedly have an update or article up later.

I have no idea what sounds like what in this whole process....and it makes me mad at my parents for not enforcing grades when I was a youngster.

and you have an exclusive negotiating agreement with Hicks and MLB don’t you have to think about filing suit against someone for all of these other bidders still being a part of the process? You probably don’t file suit now but definitely after it’s all over, and definitely if you don’t end up with the franchise. Oh my goodness, if Greenberg doesn’t get the franchise I hope he takes someone to the cleaners.
