Denver. The Colorado Rockies announced Friday that Greg and Carrie Penner of Penner Sports Group purchased a minority stake, becoming the largest minority partners after Major League Baseball approved the transaction; the Monfort family will remain majority owners with Walker Monfort continuing as club president and announced investment will clear debt. This week the franchise said the Penner Sports Group purchase will enable the club to retire all outstanding debt, fund stadium and team investments, and leave Dick and Charlie Monfort in leadership while Walker Monfort manages day-to-day operations; Forbes previously valued the team near 1.68 billion.
