According to a report from Marcos Bretón of the Sacramento Bee, Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé and his business group have been in talks for several months to purchase the Sacramento River Cats from their ownership group led by the Savage family.
This deal would be beneficial to both parties and their followers.
It would allow the Kings and River Cats to collaborate on marketing and advertising opportunities. Having both mascots, two extremely recognizable characters in the area, at events would be great for the city’s young sports fans.
Many Kings fans are also fans of the San Francisco Giants, the Major League affiliate of the River Cats.
