$10,000

I see the Texas Rangers can’t afford to refund True Believers’ playoff-ticket money till November at best — klassy! But good news, Rangers fans: Reuters reports today that the three parties interested in taking the team off Tom Hicks’s debt-heavy hands are due to meet with management as soon as next week in the hopes of getting a new owner installed sooner than later. As in:

The goal is to have a winner identified by late November and a sale completed by year end, said the sources, who asked not to be identified discussing the ongoing process. The Rangers are expected to attract bids of $500 million to $550 million, analysts have said.
