The auction to sell the Rangers will proceed as planned next week, despite a last-minute increase in the offer from a group led by Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan and Pittsburgh attorney Chuck Greenberg. The court-appointed restructuring officer in the team's bankruptcy case asked the judge Friday to forego an auction because of the increased offer. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge D. Michael Lynn rejected that plan, so the Greenberg-Ryan group's initial $575 million bid will remain.
