  "account": "In a recent development concerning the Colorado Rockies, sources indicate that the Monfort family may be planning to sell an additional 35% stake in the team to the Penner Sports Group, as reported by Woody Paige of the Denver Gazette. This would bring the Penner Sports Group's total ownership stake to 75%, with the Monforts retaining around 20% as minority owners. The sale is contingent upon Major League Baseball's return in 2027. This move follows the Penner Sports Group's April acquisition of 40% share in the club from the Monforts.",
  "summary": "The purchase would make Greg and Carrie Penner the majority owners of the franchise.",
