You are right, I was mistaken about the no trade clause. For some reason I thought he could veto trades.

Doesn't matter when ownership officially took over. The new ownership was already in place and it was a matter of going through the necessary steps to clear everything due to the bankruptcy filing. So you are saying the Rangers did not have the right to sign any players or make any trades because their ownership was in transition? The loan by MLB has no bearing on anything since MLB knew that the new ownership would be implemented in the very near future.It would have been an injustice to the Rangers and the Ranger fans if they were not allowed to operate just like every other team.
