Cal Ripken in talks to become Orioles owner
The latest talks between former Baltimore great Cal Ripken and Orioles owner Peter Angelos about the future of the club involve a new wrinkle.
The two are discussing a gradual transfer of ownership from Angelos to a group that would include Ripken, major-league sources tell FOXSports.com.
The chances of such a sale occurring anytime soon are remote, but Ripken is engaged in ongoing discussions with Angelos about buying the club.
While past discussions between Ripken and Angelos failed to advance, Ripken, according to one source, is now “guardedly optimistic” that a deal eventually could occur.
