BOSTON (AP) -- The Fenway Sports Group, owned by the same company that owns the Boston Red Sox, has agreed to buy the Salem Avalanche of the Class-A Carolina League. FSG is the managing partner of the ownership group buying the club, based in Salem, Va. "The Salem Avalanche is a model minor league sports franchise with a rich history, having played in a region that has supported professional baseball for more than a century," FSG president Mike Dee said. The Avalanche are an affiliate of the Houston Astros. In February, FSG bought 50 percent of Roush Racing, one of NASCAR's largest teams. Both the Red Sox and FSG, a sports marketing firm, are owned by New England Sports Ventures.
