Nashville City Paper is reporting the Nashville Sounds (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League) are on the verge of being sold to a New York City investment group. There’s been talk of the Sounds being on the verge of a sale for several months now, so it’s hard to say how close things really are, and there are some details that are clearly incorrect — like the New York group offering to bring a new team to town despite Sounds owner Al Gordon controlling the territory. Still, the need for a new face in Nashville is clear: failed attempts to secure state and city funding for a new ballpark have led to some bad feelings on both sides, and the Nashville market is still one where a PCL baseball team should thrive.
