"He has been through every part of what it means to own and operate professional baseball teams, from stadium development to league governance to building fan cultures that last. We're fortunate to have his perspective as we continue to grow PBG."

"Prospector Baseball Group is doing things the right way," said Sandler. "John and the team have built an operator-led platform with genuine ambition — for their teams, their communities, and for the sport. I look forward to contributing wherever I can."
