Texas Rangers Dismiss Personnel Members
By: Alex De Mostafa

The Dallas/Fort Worth-based Texas Rangers Major League Baseball business has fired quite a few staff members from its front office team. This happens about two weeks following Tom Hicks, the Rangers owner, claimed he was trying to sell the team. Rangers spokesperson John Blake said yesterday that just 10 percent of the personnel was fired. He also said that the potential sale of the team was one of numerous factors that created the firings. Before staff was cut, the Rangers had about 275 people, counting personnel whose jobs are on the field.

The firings came despite an increase of ticket sales and turnout. Fan turnout has increased to 867,016, approximately 11 percent through the same time last year, as of yesterdays game against the Houston Astros, the opening sport of a three-game interleague sequence.

Last month, Hicks claimed that he would be willing to sell controlling interest in the Rangers organization, due in part since to financial problems he is facing. Earlier this year, Hicks Sports Group, the company title for Hicks sports activities, defaulted on $525 million in loans backed by the Rangers and the NHLs Dallas Stars. Hicks as well owns the Stars.

Hicks bought the Rangers for $250 million in 1998. The previous controlling interest was owned by ex- U.S. President George W. Bush. Since then, he restructured the team several times, on one occasion spurring the signing of shortstop (since turned third baseman) Alex Rodriguez, and then an additional time spurring a trade to the New York Yankees, an American League challenger.

In February of 2008, Hicks brought in 62-year-old Nolan Ryan as leader of the team. Ryan is a Hall of Fame pitcher who rose to fame as the first rate of the more than a few pitching rotations counting the New York Mets, California Angels, Houston Astros, and Texas Rangers, although he is best identified with the Rangers.

Last month, Forbes valued the Rangers organization at $405 million, which seats them at 15th out of the 30 Major League Baseball teams. Two years in the past, Hicks united with Montreal Canadiens owner George Gillett Jr. to buy the English soccer club Liverpool through a another thing than Hicks Sports Group.
