Fenway Sports Group (A holding company maintained by the ownership group of the Red Sox) today announced that they have purchased a controlling interest in the Salem Avalanche of Salem, VA.
The current affiliation for the Single-A team is with the Houston Astros and will remain this way for the 2008 season.
I can assure you that FSG will put their own spin on the talent and try to make this a replacement for Greenville in the coming years. We’ll see if Lowell or Lancaster, California are ever affected by this move (hope not).
