MANCHESTER – The New Hampshire Fisher Cats announced Tuesday they have entered into an agreement to sell the franchise to Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH), an organization that owns and operates select Minor League clubs affiliated with Major League Baseball (MLB).

In their announcement, the Fisher Cats will continue to play at Delta Dental stadium in Manchester as the Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, with all staff remaining in place under the existing leadership of CEO, Rick Brenner, and General Manager, Michael Neis. Tom Silvia, New Hampshire native and one of the club’s current owners, will stay on in an advisory role once the acquisition is complete.

“I want to thank the city of Manchester, Mayor Joyce Craig and the Toronto Blue Jays for their support of this exciting partnership, which will preserve the Minor League Baseball experience in Manchester for the next generation,” said Silvia. “I am delighted to pass the torch to Pat Battle, Peter Freund and the DBH team and am confident the franchise will continue to thrive under their exceptional leadership alongside the amazing Fisher Cats staff.”
