Pawtucket Mayor Pleads with Larry Lucchino for Meeting
Thursday, October 22, 2015
Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien is asking Pawtucket Red Sox owner Larry Lucchino to have a meeting to develop a comprehensive plan to keep the PawSox in Pawtucket -- and expressed his concern that the PawSox, and Red Sox, brands are being "damaged by this ongoing saga."

In the communication dated October 20, Grebien spoke to informal meetings with Governor Raimondo, Speaker Mattiello, and Senator Paiva Weed, and wrote, "I don't want to speak on anyone's behalf [but] I believe it is fair to say we all agree that the State of Rhode Island does not want the Pawtucket Red Sox to relocated to another state. The team's long and treasured history here in Pawtucket holds a special place in the hearts of Rhode Islanders."
