FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Bakersfield Blaze Baseball Franchise and Hayward Lumber cease Negotiations After 8 months of negotiations, the ownership of the Bakersfield Blaze Baseball Franchise announced today that it has been unable to finalize an agreement with Hayward Lumber for their site on Front Street in Salinas. It is the intent of the Blaze ownership group to begin considering other sites in and around Salinas. “Obviously, this is a very disappointing conclusion”, stated D.G. Elmore, the primary owner of the Blaze and part of a family that owns six other minor league baseball teams. “We have spent considerable time, resources and capital analyzing the site, and designing a Stadium. We would like to thank the City of Salinas, and all of those in the local community who have supported our effort. We look forward to continue working with them to find a Stadium site. Our team is currently compiling information on other potential locations.” In September, the Bakersfield Blaze announced its intention to explore a possible move to Salinas, California. The Blaze are part of The California League which is made up of 10 teams throughout the State and is a Class A Advanced League, the third highest ranking within Minor League Baseball.
