A Boston-based group led by Celtics minority governor Steve Pagliuca has reached a deal with the Mohegan Tribe to purchase the WNBA's Connecticut Sun and move the team to Boston, according to multiple reports Saturday.
The Sun, who have called Connecticut home since 2003, could relocate as early as 2027.
Pending approval from the WNBA, Pagliuca will reportedly shell out $325 million for the Sun, which would be the most ever paid for a women's sports franchise.
Seems kind of pricey.
Yupp. But good for womens sports.
Boston Sun sounds like a newspaper
Your ears are too magnetic!
Is barstool part of this deal? Davey wanted some of that Clark action (who’s been hurt but when healthy wasn’t playing well)
Can't say with certainty as the deal isn't still made public. But afaict, Barstool hasn't been part of the group run by Pagliuca.
