The sale of the Regina Red Sox was unanimously approved by the Western Canadian Baseball League and their Board of Governors at a meeting on Sunday.
The WCBL officially approved the acquisition of the Red Sox by Regina-based Queen City Sports & Entertainment Group (QCSEG) during a vote by the league's Board of Governors on June 22nd. The vote was unanimously in favour of the deal.
"We are very excited to have the strength and experience in sports that the new ownership group of the Red Sox brings to the WCBL," said WCBL President Kevin Kvame.
“The Board is extremely grateful to the existing Red Sox operators, led by Gary Brotzel. After Gary and Bernie Eiswirth pitched the expansion team for Regina 20 years ago, the Red Sox have been exemplary and loyal league supporters ever since. This Red Sox succession guarantees their legacy and the fact that baseball is in a good place in Regina.”
QCSEG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Brandt Group of Companies with a mandate to provide a diverse offering of sports and entertainment opportunities to the Regina area. With this acquisition, the Red Sox will join a growing portfolio of sports clubs that includes the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League.
