FORT MYERS, Fla. — The FBI is seeking e-mails from four government employees in southwest Florida that appear to pertain to the development of the Boston Red Sox's new spring training facility.

The FBI has asked Lee County to provide e-mails containing more than two-dozen search terms. Some of those are names associated with the final four sites under consideration for the facility.

The Red Sox agreed to keep their spring training home in Fort Myers — the Lee County seat — for another 30 years in December. Part of the deal includes development of a new complex that would open in 2012.

The county is set to select the site of the new facility next week.

An FBI spokesman confirmed the request but would not comment on why agents are seeking the e-mails.
