The league had taken control of the Brainerd Blue Thunder last month after previous owners declined to run the team in the future. Until the fate of a proposed Waukesha ballpark was resolved — Chad Bauer and crew are now working toward a 2010 opening — it was not clear whether baseball would return to Mills Field.
A press conference will be held Monday to announce the new owner of the franchise.
