Founding year

[edit]

From a fan's perspective, the Worcester Red Sox look like a continuation of the Pawtucket Red Sox, not a new entity that was founded in 2021. Both this page and the Paw Sox page frame the change as the end of the Paw Sox and the creation of the Woo Sox, rather than the move of AAA Red Sox from Pawtucket to Worcester. Are there reliable sources to support treating the Paw Sox and Woo Sox as separate teams, rather than one team that moved? The MLB articles treat teams as a single entity - for example, the San Francisco Giants page lists them as established in 1883, not 1958. Rks13 (talk) 17:55, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, it looks like the same team founded in Toronto in 1892--It's older than all American League teams except for the Twins (which were founded in Kansas City in 1885).-Tawaki (talk) 23:00, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
