Diamond Baseball Holdings is adding another Red Sox affiliate to their roster.

The group is set to purchase the Worcester Red Sox/WooSox, Boston’s Triple-A affiliate, a source confirmed to the Herald on Thursday.

According to the Boston Globe, DBH will buy out a majority of the 11 WooSox owners. Larry Lucchino, the team’s principal owner and former president and CEO of the Red Sox, is expected to stay on as chairman.

The sale comes just weeks after Lucchino, 78, went on the UnAnchored Boston podcast and said, “It’s time to sell this team.” However, that DBH is the buyer isn’t much of a surprise. They reportedly made a bid for the WooSox two years ago, offering approximately $50 million for the club, which Lucchino and his partners purchased for approximately $25 million in 2015. DBH also already owns two Red Sox affiliates; they purchased the Single-A Salem Red Sox and Double-A Portland Sea Dogs earlier this year.

To describe DBH’s expansion as rapid is an understatement. Founded by Endeavor in December 2021, DBH already owns over 21% of Major League Baseball’s 120 minor league affiliates. Since the beginning of October alone, they’ve purchased the Double-A Tulsa Drillers (Los Angeles Dodgers), Triple-A Norfolk Tides (Baltimore Orioles), and the Fresno Grizzlies and Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes (both Colorado Rockies). If the league approves this sale, the WooSox will be DBH’s 27th team.

While DBH has already announced the move of one club they purchased this year – the Down East Wood Ducks are leaving Kinston, NC for Spartanburg, SC – WooSox fans don’t have to worry about that for a while. They’re three years into a 35-year lease at Polar Park, the $159 million crown jewel of MiLB.
