"Approval by the committee was disclosed Tuesday by a person familiar with the decision who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no announcement was made … Baseball's executive council will consider the deal next and is expected to forward it for a vote by all major league owners. The sale values the franchise at $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion."
