Vancouver Canadians baseball team sold to American ownership group

Vancouver’s baseball team has a new American ownership group, as the Vancouver Canadians have been sold to Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH).

The group already owns and operates a number of other minor league teams in the U.S.

After 15 years at the helm of the minor league franchise, current owners Jake Kerr and Jeff Mooney will stay with the team but in different capacities.

Mooney will serve as the Chair of the Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation, while Kerr will retain his newly appointed role as Chair of the Vancouver Canadians.

“It has been a wonderful experience owning and building this team over the past 15 years,” said Mooney.

“This is the right time for a new owner to take the team forward, and DBH will be an excellent long-term partner,” Kerr added.

Kerr adds he’s “eager to continue working” with DBH in his new role.

A release from the team says it will remain the High-A affiliate of the MLB’s Toronto Blue Jays as well, and ensures there are no major changes planned so far.

The team will take to the dugout for its home opener Friday, April. 7 at 7:05 p.m.
