VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) – There could be a new team in Vero Beach after the Los Angeles Dodgers leave their longtime spring training home.
The Dodgers plan to move to a new spring training facility in Arizona soon, but Indian River County Administrator Joseph Baird said the county has an option agreement with another major league team to potentially replace the Dodgers in Vero Beach.
“I have not divulged which,” he said Thursday. “That’s part of the agreement.”
Baird said reports that the team is the Baltimore Orioles were “pure speculation.”
The Orioles declined to comment. Their lease at Fort Lauderdale Stadium runs through this year and they have an option for 2009.
No agreement can become official until the Dodgers know whether they can move into their new spring training home being built in Glendale, Ariz., in 2009 as scheduled.
The Dodgers have held spring training in Vero Beach since 1948, when they still played in Brooklyn.
