Gaylord still undecided about
keeping Rangers in Arlington
DALLAS (AP) — Only one man
can stop Eddie Chiles from going
forward with plans to sell the Texas
Rangers to a group that could take it
out of Texas, but Edward L. Gaylord
hasn’t decided yet if he will.
Chiles announced Friday an
agreement in principle to sell the
American League team to Tampa,
Fla., businessman Frank L. Morsani
and the New York-New Jersey-based
Mack family for $80-$85 million.
But Gaylord, whose Gaylord
Broadcasting Company owns one-
third of the Rangers, has until Sept.
23 to decide whether to exercise his
right to match any offer to buy the
team.
“We’re giving it a good, hard
look,” Gaylord told the Associated
Press Sunday. “We’ve got plenty of
time.”
And plenty of money.
“No, money’s not the obstacle,” he
said.
“It’s out of our hands now,” Mor
sani said. “Anything Mr. Gaylord
does now has to be done indepen
dently on behalf of Gaylord Broad
casting. We have enough other
things to keep us busy.”
And while the Morsani-Mack
group is busy trying to buy the team,
Rangers fans have been busy asking
one big question: If Morsani-Mack
completes the deal, will the Rangers
stay near Dallas and its sister city
Fort Worth?
A banner hung in Arlington Sta
dium Friday during the Rangers 5-1
victory over the Toronto Blue Jays
expressed a popular sentiment
about where the Rangers should
play. It said: “Help! Mr. Gaylord —
Eddie’s Gone Mad.”
The possible sale of the Rangers
includes the stadium, and Morsani
has said a purchase doesn’t mean the
team is moving from Texas. But
Morsani has also said he has been ac
tive with a group trying to bring a
major-league team to Tampa.
Tampa officials have plans to con
struct a 46,000-seat domed stadium
adjacent to Tampa Stadium, which
houses the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
football team. But they have said
they will not begin construction until
a franchise has been secured.
“I think they (fans) see us as kind
of local,” Gaylord said during a tele
phone interview from his home in
Oklahoma City.
And American League President
Bobby Brown has said any attempt
to move the Rangers would be voted
down by league owners because of
the attractiveness of the Dallas-Fort
Worth market.
“Anything that anyone might say
right now would be speculative,”
said Morsani, 57, who owns eight car
dealerships and is chairman of the
Tampa Aviation Authority.
Gaylord has tried to buy the team
before.
Two years ago, the AL owners
unanimously rejected a buyout at
tempt by Gaylord. However, both
Chiles and Gaylord said they re
ceived indications the vote would be
reversed this time.
“It’s up to the owners,” Gaylord
said, adding he thought his chances
were a little better now.
His first bid was turned down in
1986 because of fears that Dallas-
Fort Worth-based KTVT, Channel
11, would develop into a supersta
tion. Gaylord’s broadcasting head
quarters are in Oklahoma City.
A sale would have to be approved
by 10 of 14 AL owners, a majority of
National League owners and Com
missioner Peter Ueberroth.
Gaylord said he didn’t know exac
tly how many AL owners had voted
against him, but added, “They were
worried about the TV station.”
“Things are quite different than
two years ago,” said Chiles. “All indi
cations are that Mr. Gaylord will be
accepted by the American League.”.
Owners of two teams who have
been among the strongest in opposi
tion to Gaylord told the Dallas
Morning News in Sunday’s editions
that they remain concerned but are
open-minded about considering him
as a majority owner of the Rangers.
Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Fin-
horn, co-owners of the Chicago
White Sox, said they would give
fresh consideration to the matter.
