NEW BEDFORD — The new owners of the Pawtucket Red Sox say they want to move the team to Providence. But one southern Massachusetts town is interested in becoming the next home of the Boston Red Sox minor league affiliate.
New Bedford city councilor Steve Martins has filed a motion for the city to discuss becoming the home city for the team.
Martins and fellow councilman Kerry Winterson have lined up two potential sites for a new stadium. One is right along the waterfront, similar to the proposed ballpark in Providence.
Martins and Winterson say they are willing to give the PawSox time to work on a deal with Rhode Island officials.
