The new owners of the Las Vegas 51's are in town. The owners are meeting with the media for the first time and seem to have some plans for improvement.

Those plans include renaming the franchise after the 2008 season. The baseball team will no longer be called the Las Vegas 51's and fans in the community will be part of that renaming campaign.

The new owners have a new scoreboard, but they say they need a new stadium. Don't expect the Steven Baseball Group to fully fund that, which needs to happen eventually.

Vegas enters its eighth year as the top affiliate with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have said they want a new stadium or else.

The new owners say if the Dodgers don't want to be here, there are plenty of teams who'd love to have an affiliate in Las Vegas.

  1. Don’t the Dodgers have input in naming their AAA affiliate? I thought most MLB clubs operated that way until another organization relocates to that site.
