Lucchino Puts Pawtucket Back On Table For PawSox Home
Pawtucket Red Sox chairman Larry Lucchino has put Pawtucket back on the table as a future home for the Pawtucket Red Sox, after the team spent months saying it was moving.
Lucchino said after a news conference Monday that team ownership believes a new ballpark is important to fulfilling the vision it has for the Triple-A Boston Red Sox affiliate. But he also said the team is now open to ``every possibility,'' including Pawtucket.
The team previously said it would not consider staying in Pawtucket and instead pushed a plan to build a new stadium in Providence. That plan died.
The team has said it would cost at least $65 million to renovate Pawtucket's McCoy Stadium.
Lucchino said they are studying numerous proposals and have no timetable for a decision.
