Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino extend PDC with Angels to 2022

Posted on September 19, 2018 by Mike McCann

The Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino have extended their player development contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to 2022.  The 66ers have been an Angels affiliate since 2011.  This leaves only two High A affiliations unaccounted for and I don’t see those two switching.

Everett AquaSox extend PDC with Mariners to 2022

Posted on September 19, 2018 by Mike McCann

The Everett AquaSox have extended their player development contract with the Mariners to 2022.  This was already renewed through 2020, so this is a further extension.  The AquaSox have been a Mariners affiliate since 1995.

AAA Affiliation Announcements

Posted on September 18, 2018 by Mike McCann

Nashville Sounds sign PDC with Rangers to 2022
Fresno Grizzlies sign PDC with Nationals to 2020
San Antonio (former Colorado Springs Sky Sox) extend PDC with Brewers to 2020

So I was way off with my thoughts.  It appears that the mistake I made was that the Rangers didn’t want to play in San Antonio since there were no facility upgrades for the new AAA team and they would rather have their AAA team in Nashville with a fairly new facility.  The Brewers decided to stay with their affiliate as it moves from Colorado Springs to San Antonio.  And the odd man out is the Nationals who now have their AAA affiliate in Fresno.  Although it hasn’t been announced yet, Round Rock will be the Astros affiliate.

So looking forward to 2020, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more movement at the AAA level.  I don’t think the Nationals will enjoy having their AAA affiliate over 2000 miles away.

The Bluefield Blue Jays have extended their player development contract with the Blue Jays to 2020.  I missed this announcement in July, so this is just indicating that the PDC list was updated accordingly.

Las Vegas 51s sign PDC with A’s to 2020; Fresno and Round Rock Changing Affiliates

Posted on September 17, 2018 by Mike McCann

The Las Vegas 51s have signed a player development contract with the A’s to 2020.  The last few cycles it was Las Vegas that was the last contract to be announced because of the poor facilities.  And now that they are getting a new stadium, it was the first affiliation change announced during this cycle.

The Fresno Grizzlies put out a story saying that they were changing affiliates, which means that they and the Astros decided to explore other options.  The Round Rock Express also said they are changing affiliates, so you have to think the Astros are going there and the Rangers would want to stay in Texas with the new San Antonio team.

If I had to guess how the rest of AAA plays out, it would be as follows:
Fresno – Brewers
Nashville – Nationals
Round Rock – Astros
San Antonio – Rangers

Fort Myers Miracle extend PDC with Twins to 2022

Posted on September 14, 2018 by Mike McCann

The Fort Myers Miracle have extended their player development contract with the Twins to 2022.  The Miracle have been a Twins affiliate since 1993.  Even though there are a few contracts at the High A level that haven’t been renewed yet, I don’t foresee any changes.

Tacoma Rainiers extend PDC with Mariners to 2022

Posted on September 14, 2018 by Mike McCann

The Tacoma Rainiers have extended their player development contract with the Mariners to 2022.  The Rainiers have been a Mariners affiliate since 1995.  I never saw the PDC extension for the Rainiers for the last cycle, but the four year extension guarantees I won’t have any questions for the next cycle.
