In an updated blog post by the Dallas Morning-News' Evan Grant, Houston businessman Jim Crane reportedly has a bid in for the Rangers around $530 million, allegedly the best bid so far - better than the Dennis Gilbert bid or the Ryan/Greenberg bid.
But there's a snag. White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf has already shown support Gilbert. And:
Astros owner Drayton McLane is not a fan of Crane's.
Can't imagine why. I'd still like to learn the circumstances of the handshake deal that Crane backed out of. Allegedly.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
