Ryan testifying on the impact of the bankruptcy on the Rangers
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 21, 2010 1:26 PM CDT
Email
PrintDaniel Kaplan is tweeting from Judge Lynn's courtroom today as testimony continues on the Rangers bankruptcy today, and you can read his tweets here.
But as I type this, Nolan Ryan is apparently testifying on the impact the bankruptcy is having on the Rangers operations. Kaplan's two most recent tweets on the issue:
Ryan tells auction hearing the bankruptcy is causing team not to be able to sign intl players, "there is a void in our system."Ryan tells court team is being forced to deplete minor league system because of the bankruptcy
Just one more reminder of the harm Tom Hicks, and HSG's financial issues, are having on the team...
More updates on this as it comes available...

that
really, really sucks.
So, they couldn’t sign their top pick in ‘09, they had a castrated draft budget for ’10, they have to sell prospects because they can’t add salary, they aren’t signing international talent and now they’re losing their scouts.
How badly does this affect the team’s chances of continuing to compete three or four years down the line? Are we basically looking at a team that has to win the World Series before then?

you are crazy if you
don’t believe there is a real chance of this happening. THEY HAVE NO FREAKING MONEY. they had to GIVE away a prospect that was pretty good for $2million, I’m not sure where Josh is contract wise but if he is due arb you could be looking at a $5 million raise if not more

We are already 5 million over projected revenue this season
If we make the playoffs that will only increase that amount along with better than expected 2nd half attendance and revenue most likely.
Based on this years revenue they can probably add a few million into next years payroll to keep current players. It may mean we don’t have any money to go get free agents but to keep current players I think we can find the money.
How much of that money do we
owe to MLB? although I think if we lost Josh it would be in the trade arena. I can see MLB giving us enough money to pay is Arb. number and then us agreeing to trade him

Contracts...
I am sure alot of players have post season bonus’s built into their contracts, that would neutralize profits from playoffs.
so you are saying
that the post season bonuses would have no effect on the profit?

JD’s like, "you want some fucking pitching? Here’s all the pitching you can stand. Now choke on it, bitches!"- RCCook
As of now we've only lost Main and beavan
So as it stands right now we aren’t hurting too much. But if this drags out even more and we have to sell more prospects then it could really start hurting. We signed a good portion of our draft class but haven’t done anything in LA which hurts but again not as much since we signed a lot of our NA draft class.
Then
opportunity cost lost in both this past draft, signing Purke, and the international free agent market. Not to mention the long term effects of having a gap in the system. I think of it like a college football team that has a down recruiting year. They can survive the damage from one, but multiple years can set a program back years.

not impossible
but difficult. Would need to make a list of guys you would have expected the Rangers to select (based on patterns of past drafts of players relative to draft position, talent level, and bonus demands) and then use Wang’s prospect valuations to get an idea as it associates to WAR. Need to know the grades for those guys and the guys the Rangers drafted and the rough position of where they’d fall in the Top Prospects order.
Obviously, it wouldn’t be spot-on accurate, but you could get in the ballpark with it. Would take time to collect the data though, and I don’t have all the access to the scouting grades and/or reports…

OK
I guess what I was asking was more if they were using last years numbers as a projection. For instance they say through 50 home games we should make X amount based on a per game average of X. Whereas we are currently 5 million ahead of that. Last year our NY and BOS series were earlier in the year so as of now they wouldn’t have affected a per game estimate yet. And since those games figure to be sellouts or near sellouts it would only increase that overage of the budget
But they projected
that those series, that we havent yet played, would be sellouts, guarantee it. So, what is bigger is when we have games that arent supposed to be big draws, but that bring big crowds

What if instead of going game by game or series by series they used an average
For instance (using made up numbers here) they averaged $400,000 per game last year (20,000 people at $20 average ticket price) and used that number as a base for their projections for this year. They would probably have to use a lower number than normal given their budgetary constraints.
This year they have averaged $500,000 per game (25,000 at $20 average ticket price so far). $100,000 a game for 50 home games is $5 mil. And we haven’t had the BOS or NY series which would surely draw more than 25,000 people and probably higher than $20 average ticket price.
This is not going to end well...

Why?
Im just trying to figure out if they projected on a per game basis from last year or if they went according to the schedule for this year. I don’t know when they had to do their budget and when the schedules were released so they may not have known at the time when they were playing the Yankees or Red Sox.

Ticket sales
I think they have to be a lagging indicator. Season ticket sales are based on past more than present. I guarantee you that the Astros will get killed at the gate next year.
So we are 5 million up with less people coming to the games
But we haven’t faced the Red Sox or yankees yet
And we didn’t raise ticket prices this offseason correct?
So it tells me they must have budgeted according to the schedule. Thats risky given their situation.
You can budget tickets sold for future games...

That is why I was wondering about the court cost
Lets say the team sells for 15million more, but they spend 22 million in the process. They are – 7 million, or does it not work that way?
Well, they left $7M on the table
But they are still well ahead (Monarch at least). It’s a great risk/reward thing for them.
The Texas Rangers have been synonymous with explosive firepower ever since they emptied 130 rounds into Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. - Alyssa Milano
So basically we are assuming their projections for the sale of the team is going to be more than the cost

I had hoped that someone would realize we were talking about big investors here without footnotes. :-)
But they ARE invested in a hedge fund, and as such they are savvy enough to know that going for the big score and falling short happens. My only point is that the investors are going to se a hefty return on this one either way.

Not sure about that
50,000 people x $20/ticket is $1M. So that’s ~$1M/game. Now, obviously, there’s more revenue involved than just that, but I’m betting that number includes more than just the first round. I recently saw $20M thrown out as what the playoffs are worth, but I can’t remember exactly what it includes (like ticket sales bump the next year? Probably not…)

Just to give everyone a little chuckle at the expense of a former Ranger bust prospect...
Jason (Walnut Creek, CA): Considering the Lack of power hitting seen in the Majors this year, I am really surprised teams are not beating down the Phillies door to obtain John Mayberry. The former First Rounder and Stanford alum has always hit for decent Power stats, albeit with low batting averages. However, since he can also play First Base, do you see the Phillies trading him at the Deadline to get a 2nd Baseman or Starting pitcher?
Jim Callis: He can’t hit. That’s why noboby is beating down the Phillies’ door. If he played every day in the majors, he’d strike out 200+ times. He’s a toss-in at best in a trade.

Callis
Steve Alengakis (Brooklyn, NYC): I believe the Texas Rangers will regret not accepting the Yankees offer of Montero and Adams over the Rangers offer, which included Smoak. Do you, agree? also, was there a sense amongst people in the industry that the Mariners did not want to really deal with the Yankees if they could avoid it — or that they accepted less? Thank you
Jim Callis: I’d rather have Montero than Smoak but I thought the deals were comparable. The Mariners clearly preferred Smoak. I don’t buy that the Mariners accepted less to spurn the Yankees—that’s garbage and makes no sense. Why is it that every time the Yankees don’t get someone they want in a trade, it’s because the other club stuck it to them?

Jay R (Iowa): Did Matt Purke really sign a contract with the Rangers, but MLB didn’t approve it? I can see making them wait until the deadline, but if MLB actually blocks a deal…that is ridiculous…
Jim Callis: Yes. Nolan Ryan and Purke’s father agreed on a predraft deal worth $6 million. But MLB was able to step in because they had to front the Rangers payroll money, and they weren’t going to allow a $6 million bonus.

Nolan Ryan quote from ESPNDallas
He also worried about having financing in order for next season and told the judge he was specifically worried about keeping Hamilton, whose .357 batting average through Tuesday leads the major leagues.
“I don’t know that I want to be there [if] Josh Hamilton doesn’t come back next year,” Ryan said.
Hamilton signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Rangers in January and could command a much higher salary next year. Ryan put the potential range at $8 million to $10 million.

Depends
If it’s part of the DIP financing and how it’s governed, the Court could have that power. Not if it’s based upon some sort of MLB rule, though.
No
The point was the Rangers had the right to extend payroll to cover new salaries because they have made about $5 million more in revenue than there MLB made budget alloted them

Not an expert
But MLB has already offered a $21.5m line of credit for the DIP financing. It doesn’t seem outlandish to me for the judge to have the power to oversee how the DIP financing is used/implemented.
I don’t know that, technically. Wyo might. But that seems reasonable…
I don't even see why that's true
just because you are willing to loan someone money under certain conditions doesn’t mean you are willing to loan money under all conditions
Outside of a bankruptcy
of course that’s true. But DIP is special stuff.
Like I said, I have no idea how that works statutorily. Maybe he’s off his rocker. It’s just something I can imagine Congress sticking in the Code.
The Judge would have some oversight but it would mostly be the CRO I believe
If a company needs $X to make payroll and pay its insurance then the CRO would use DIP financing to cover it. But the CRO’s not going to start using DIP financing to make additions to an office building or anything.
