DETROIT The biggest money deal in baseball history appears likely today as the Detroit Tigers may be sold to a six man group led by Michigan radio executives Fred Knorr and John Fetzer. The five million dollar transaction would shift control from the Briggs family after more than 20 years amid competing bids from four other syndicates including Bill Veeck and Jack Kent Cooke. The sale requires approval from Briggs trustees, the estate of Walter Briggs Sr., the American League and Commissioner Ford Frick.
