My twitter feed at 12:40 AM: Greenberg/Ryan win the Rangers auction


The auction process cost Greenberg/Ryan an additional $83M in order to purchase the team. Their original winning bid, months ago, was $502M. Final winning bid (including assumption of $200ish Million of existing Rangers' debt) is $585M.

Note: throughout the day, opposing attorneys have not been shy about directing bitter profanity at each other. This bitter contest would make a good book or movie. Re the tweets: start at the bottom and work up...

The money in hand right now from Greenberg is worth more than Cuban money.

The Greenberg bids can be less because of present value of money. They can close bid now.

The Cuban bid for the #Rangers right now could total somewhere in the $610 million neighboorhood. But the pressbox wireless is still bad.
