In the event that anyone missed the news, the St. Louis Cardinals sold the majority share of the AAA-affiliate Memphis Redbirds to Peter B. Freund. For more information, go read my write-up on the sale.
Freund owns several minor league teams and is known to establish strong guidelines for purchases of this nature. It appears the time has come to pay-up on Mr. Freund’s guidelines as the organization is set to make a big change announcement today.
From what I’m able to derive from my contacts with the Redbirds, Mr. Freund insisted on a few changes for the Redbirds to find success in his eyes.
