Owner Tom Hicks may not be able to keep control of the Texas Rangers after talks about a contract extension with television partner Fox Sports stalled recently, according to a Dallas Morning News report.
The story states, through sources, that Major League Baseball did not like the extension because it would mean giving the club a quick cash infusion, but could cause lower television revenue long-term.
Hicks had no comment when reached by ESPNDallas.com Thursday morning.
Hicks has received bids from prospective owners and a decision is expected within the month. He announced two weeks ago that he was trying to get investors to keep the team.
