The president of MGM Resorts is still not ruling out a possible sale of the company’s casino in Springfield.

Last year, Bloomberg reported the casino giant was exploring selling MGM Springfield and its Northfield Park facility in Ohio, but the process was in the preliminary stages.

Things had been quiet publicly on this front until last week. During an earning calls, company officials were asked about possible moves to “monetize assets” and “create value” with its current portfolio.

They listed some recent transactions, which included selling off other properties. Then MGM Resorts President Bill Hornbuckle added:

“Northfield Park and Springfield are ongoing discussions, so those are assets we’ve been talking about for a while.”
