Shockwaves in Arlington: Rangers Owners Ray Davis & Bob Simpson Reportedly Weighing Sale of Franchise
ARLINGTON, Texas — In a stunning development that could reshape the future of Texas baseball, multiple sources have indicated that longtime Rangers owners Ray C. Davis and Bob R. Simpson are exploring the possibility of selling the franchise after 15 years at the helm.
The duo, who rescued the team from bankruptcy in 2010 and oversaw its transformation into a modern powerhouse, are said to be in the early stages of reviewing offers from interested investment groups.
Under their stewardship, the Rangers reached back-to-back World Series in 2010 and 2011, moved into the state-of-the-art Globe Life Field in 2020, and captured the franchise’s first-ever World Series championship in 2023.
“After everything they’ve given — stability, resources, and finally a championship — it would be hard to imagine the Rangers without them,” one industry insider said. “But interest in owning this franchise has never been higher.”
While no official statement has been released by the Rangers organization, speculation about the team’s future ownership has ignited buzz across MLB circles. If confirmed, the sale would mark the end of an era that turned the Rangers from a bankrupt franchise into World Series champions and one of baseball’s most valuable teams.
For now, fans are left to wonder: Who could step in to carry the torch, and how might a new ownership group shape the future of Texas baseballs
