So long, Rhode Island. The Pawtucket Red Sox are officially headed to Worcester.
Following more than 12 months of rumored interest, the Red Sox Triple-A affiliate officially announced plans Friday to relocate to New England’s second biggest city beginning in 2021. The move includes a 10,000-seat new stadium in the city’s burgeoning Canal District and a new name — The Worcester Red Sox.
Or, possibly, the WooSox, for short.
“Larry, you’re a tough fish to catch, but we got you — and we’re really happy about that,” Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito told PawSox chairman Larry Lucchino at the official announcement Friday in Worcester.
