U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly has withdrawn his offer to buy a share of the Butler BlueSox, city officials said.

The City Parks, Recreation Grounds and Facilities Authority announced Monday that the Butler congressman withdrew his $60,000 bid to buy 40 percent of the baseball club. Kelly made the bid in December.

Board member Ed Codi told the authority of Kelly’s decision, although no reason was given for the withdraw.

Board treasurer Jeff Smith said the club’s majority ownership group, Perfect Game LLC, is buying the share.

“They are going through the application process with the league,” he said, referencing the Prospect League. “That process will take about 2 to 3 weeks.”

The majority group’s offer was the only other bid made in December.

Kelly made his bid at about the same time the authority was beginning talks to have the former Pullman Trust Board take over management of Kelly Automotive Park, where the BlueSox play.

Smith said former board member Art Cordwell began discussions with that board. However, Smith said that discussion hasn’t advanced.

“Nothing has come to pass, so as of now the stadium authority is proceeding,” he said.

The authority manages the park for the city redevelopment authority.

Kelly’s automotive dealership purchased naming rights in 2013 to the former Pullman Park. Kelly is chairman of the Pullman Trust Board.
