CLEVELAND -- The Indians have narrowed the field of potential minority investors and could have a new partner for team owner and chairman Paul Dolan later this offseason.
MLB.com confirmed a report by the Associated Press on Thursday indicating that Dolan has identified a small group of investors with the assistance of Allen & Co., a New York-based boutique investment bank. Aiding in Cleveland's search for a minority partner is Steve Greenberg, who is the managing director of Allen & Co.
Greenberg also happens to be the son of Hank Greenberg, who was the general manager of the Indians from 1950-59.
