WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — After a three-year search for a new home, the Pawtucket Red Sox are leaving Rhode Island for central Massachusetts.
Team officials signed a deal Friday that aims to move the organization to Worcester, marking a major victory for city officials who spent a year trying to attract the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.
At a news conference in Worcester, city and state officials also unveiled plans for a new development that will include a $90 million stadium for the team along with two hotels, hundreds of apartment units, a parking garage and retail spaces.
