Jayson Stark has an update on the Jim Crane proceedings:
...Sources we've surveyed report that nothing substantial has changed, that Crane's bid is still "stuck in neutral" and that he still could wind up being approved under the right conditions -- with an agreement to allow his team to move to the American League ranking near or at the top of that list.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
