The owner of the minor league baseball team in Norwich says the sale of the Norwich Defenders to a Virginia group could be complete by the end of the month.
Lou DiBella says the sale of the team to a Richmond, Va., group is awaiting the filing of paperwork for officials at Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball.
DiBella says no closing date has been scheduled yet.
According to a Richmond newspaper, the plans call for the Richmond group to buy the Defenders for about $15 million and move the team to Virginia at the end of the 2009 season.
