The rise and fall of Chuck Greenberg

The law firm of "Shlachter, Nishimura & Baker" penned a story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about Chuck Greenberg's departure from the Texas Rangers.

It's actually a very confusing story.

Instead, read the full version in D Magazine's CEO issue. It's good. Based on quotes from an unnamed source, the tiff between Greenberg and GM Jon Daniels and Greenberg's lone wolf trip to Arkansas to woo Cliff Lee were overblown.

The strain on Greenberg's relationship and team prez Nolan Ryan increased in early 2011, according to the source.

Then Greenberg skipped a board meeting in Arizona and a meeting with advertisers right after. At that point, said Deep Throat, Ryan gave the money men an ultimatum. Greenberg or Ryan?

We knew who was winning that contest.
