Found September 18, 2008 on The Tribe Daily:
Bob DiBiasio is on All Bets are Off with Bruce Drennen right now and he says the Indians are close to making Columbus their Triple-A affiliate.

The Columbus Dispatch is saying the deal has been agreed upon for four years to 2012.

CastroTurf is saying the deal is unofficial
.

The announcement is expected today or tomorrow. Today was the first day for official negotiations, but this move has been in the works for a year plus.

New Park for the Indians Triple-A team as well.. Close to home.. Match made in heaven!

Anyyyyway.. I can now update the board with the new name and start putting up Columbus digs around here.. That didn't take long!
