New Affiliations
Twenty-five teams signed new affiliation deals with Major League clubs, with the bulk of those changes taking place at the Class A level.
The high Class A California League, the low Class A South Atlantic League and the low Midwest League teams did the most maneuvering. The California League had five of its teams make the switch. The Bakersfield Blaze (Tampa Bay to Texas), the High Desert Mavericks (Milwaukee to Kansas City), the Modesto A's (Oakland to Colorado), the Stockton Ports (Texas to Oakland) and the Visalia Oaks (Colorado to Tampa Bay) all signed player development deals with new teams.
The Augusta Green Jackets (Boston to San Francisco), the Capital City Bombers (New York Mets to Boston), the Charleston River Dogs (Tampa Bay to the Yankees), the Hagerstown Suns (San Francisco to the Mets) all made switches in the "Sally" (SAL) League, along with the Charleston Alley Cats, who changed their name to the West Virginia Power (Toronto to Milwaukee). The Midwest League saw the Battle Creek Yankees (Yankees to Tampa Bay), the Beloit Snappers (Milwaukee to Minnesota), the Lansing Lugnuts (Cubs to Toronto), the Peoria Chiefs (St. Louis to the Cubs) and the Swing of the Quad Cities (Minnesota to St. Louis) all make moves.
