The MLB Rangers "remain committed to waiting" on season-ticket refunds as "nearly every other team in sports" has made some sort of move, according to Mac Engel of the Ft. Worth STAR-TELEGRAM. As of yesterday, the club is issuing the following response to season-ticket holders: "Once the negotiations between MLB owners and MLBPA come to a conclusion, we will have more clarity on the direction of the season and will be able to release a policy regarding your season ticket plan as it pertains to the rest of the 2020 season." The club said that it has "worked with fans who requested refunds on a case-by-case basis." Still, Engel writes, "The optics on this are awful. It’s terrible goodwill in light of the fact the franchise was handed $500 million from taxpayers to build a stadium." How the Rangers have "chosen to treat their season ticket holders is bewildering." When the calendar hit April 1, the Rangers "did not announce a ticket policy," nor did they for May 1. Now, team officials said that they "would, of course, eventually comply with refund requests." They "just needed to know how the schedule was going to be set" (Ft. Worth STAR-TELEGRAM, 6/18).
