An investor(s) with deep enough pockets to look at it as a long-term investment. IF they would be able to build up a fanbase and have more success, that franchise in time could be quite the investment. You will never be able to buy a franchise for cheaper (I am guessing), and if you manage to hang on long enough, you MAY really end up way ahead. A big gamble, for sure, and there has to be a lot of things that have to go right.

I do think it is 'too little, too late' now. It is a shame - great place to travel and catch a game.
