[[Source Interlink]] (later the [[Motor Trend Group]]) purchased Baseball America in December 2011 and sold the publication in February 2017. The new Baseball America Enterprises includes [[Gary Green (baseball owner)|Gary Green]] and Larry Botel of Alliance Baseball, owners of minor league franchises in [[Omaha, Nebraska]], and [[Richmond, Virginia]], in partnership with David Geaslen, founder and CEO of 3STEP Sports.<ref>{{Cite web| title = Baseball America Sold {{!}} SGB Online| date = 14 February 2017| access-date = 2019-03-14| url = https://sgbonline.com/baseball-america-sold/}}</ref> Today, ''Baseball America'' is led by president Tom Dondero and Editor in Chief J.J.
