Tribe to Columbus Almost Done?

Bob DiBiasio is on All Bets are Off with Bruce Drennen right now and he says the Indians are close to making Columbus their Triple-A affiliate.

The Columbus Dispatch is saying the deal has been agreed upon for four years to 2012.

CastroTurf is saying the deal is unofficial.

The announcement is expected today or tomorrow. Today was the first day for official negotiations, but this move has been in the works for a year plus.

New Park for the Indians Triple-A team as well.. Close to home.. Match made in heaven!

Anyyyyway.. I can now update the board with the new name and start putting up Columbus digs around here.. That didn't take long!
