Has The Team Been Sold?

Possibly. If you believe the article on international soccer network. Here's what he's reporting.

Our sources confirm that a deal to sell the Cleveland City Stars is imminent, but it will not be announced at the club’s end of the season banquet tonight. Two sources suggest that the deal is already done with the City Stars going to a U.S.-based group. This would take several groups out of the running to purchase the club: a group from Canada and a group from Kenya somehow connected to the Nairobi City Stars. What remains cloudy is the team’s future in Cleveland. In a recent interview with The Plain Dealer, Aaron Tredway said that two of the three groups would keep the team in Cleveland. This could be the two ownership groups that have been eliminated.

I know that selling the club to a group from Kenya is suspect but i would think they would want to keep the club in Cleveland. Aren't the Nairobi City Stars and Cleveland affiliated?

Yes, Nairobi is owned by AIS who (formerly?) owned the City Stars.
