"It's a good possibility that it might not happen," Ryan said about owning the team. "The way they've invited Crane back into the picture, they seem to be more concerned with him than anyone else."
Ryan said he isn't thinking about his future right now.
"My position is I'm going to be here through the end of the season this year and assess where everything is and go from there," Ryan said. "I'm not making any predictions. I'm not thinking anything past us getting a ruling of some nature or find out what the status is of where we all stand or if it goes to someone else."
The Ryan-Greenberg group's attempt to purchase the Rangers hit another stumbling block Thursday as a hearing scheduled for Friday was canceled. That came after the court-appointed chief restructuring officer filed a motion against the auction process he had agreed to earlier in the week.
In response to that, the Rangers removed their motion seeking approval for the process that would have concluded bidding on July 16. William Snyder, the CRO, still wants an auction but under revised rules. Ryan said there's a status conference in place of the hearing Friday.
"The frustrating thing is you don't know what direction this is going or what timeframe you're dealing with," Ryan said. "I think everybody associated with it would like to see some finality to it."
Ryan said he was pleased with how the team was playing but admitted that he wasn't able to enjoy it as much as he'd like because of the off-field ownership concerns.
