Report: Orioles' $1.725B Sale to David Rubenstein's Group Likely Official by April

The Baltimore Orioles may not be officially sold by Opening Day, but fans reportedly won't have to wait much longer.

Evan Drellich of The Athletic cited someone familiar with the sales process who said it will likely become finalized by April and not long after the March 28 Opening Day game against the Los Angeles Angels.

"If we miss Opening Day, it's not for lack of trying, but it should be shortly thereafter," the person said.

David Rubenstein's ownership group is purchasing the team from John Angelos, and Drellich reported "only procedural hurdles remain, rather than substantive issues.
