City sues PawSox over stadium repairs

The city of Pawtucket is suing the owners of the Pawtucket Red Sox for allegedly failing to repair and maintain the baseball stadium where the team played as they were obligated to do under a contract.

In a lawsuit filed Jan. 7, the city sued the owners of the PawSox for failing to maintain the cityowned McCoy Stadium, though the suit did not name a specific amount of damages sought, The Providence Journal reported.

The PawSox are moving to Worcester and are scheduled to start playing there later this year.

“This is another unfortunate piece of the Pawtucket Red Sox Saga,” a spokesperson for the city, Wilder Arboleda, told the newspaper.
