Dollar Bill

Gene Autry was one of the most beloved Americans of his era. To the first generations of Angels fans, and the parents of the next generations, he was one of our foremost entertainers, not the owner of a middling baseball team. I think he's still the only person with five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And, toward the end of the Autry ownership, Gene got older and his wife basically took over, so she was the one that was blamed.
Arte never had the reservoir of goodwill Gene had. No one knew who he was when he bought the team.

$3 million, plus his $22.5 million from the Dodgers.

They might, because the rights to air games are the fundamental asset of an RSN. 
But, in bankruptcy court, either you come in with a deal to which all parties have agreed, or the court decides. What the court decides might not be what MLB wants, or what Diamond wants. The court's first priority is to get the creditors paid as much as possible.

Bidding hasn't started.

What has happened in previous sales may or may not be relevant to this one. But, generally speaking, the bidders that emerge as finalists usually get a more thorough round of scrutiny from MLB.

Thanks Bill, greatly appreciate it.  Also enjoy reading your work at LAT.  Thanks for popping by and answering questions here 🙂 

MLB does an initial background check before letting anyone see the books and then a more thorough financial viability investigation later -- not all parties choose to bid, or make a competitive bid.
