twitterFirm weighs buyout offers
Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2002 | 9:50 a.m.
ST. LOUIS -- A storied name in the baseball world is mulling offers for its possible sale.
Rawlings Sporting Goods Co. said Tuesday it welcomed a bid by its largest shareholder to buy the company for about $65 million in cash. Daniel Gilbert offered to buy the roughly 85 percent of Rawlings he doesn't own for $8 per share.
Gilbert said he is pursuing the company, despite having no information about a rival bidder who Rawlings said last week proposed a stock-for-stock deal for the company, which specializes in leather baseball gloves, baseball and uniforms. Rawlings has not identified that bidder or the offer's size.
