MAJOR YANKEE MINOR LEAGUE SHAKE UP!


It's gonna be hard to adjust, but the Yankees have changed cities and affiliates with some of their minor league organizations.  WOW. 

My Central Jersey writes:

"The Yankees are adding two nearby minor league baseball teams as affiliates in 2021, according to a report Friday from Baseball America.



The Somerset Patriots will be the team's new Double-A affiliate and the Hudson Valley Renegades will be the new Single-A affiliate, according to the report.

A spokesperson from the Somerset Patriots said there is nothing further to report at this time.



The Yankees' current Double-A affiliate is the Trenton Thunder and the current Single-A affiliate is the Charleston RiverDogs. The Yankees will no longer be affiliated with either of those teams or the Short-Season-A Staten Island Yankees, according to the report.


The Yankees are expected to remain affiliated with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders because they part-own the team."

That's a pretty big blow to the cities where they've called home for a while. I mean, not to date myself, but I'm still upset they left Oneonta! 



Ha. No... I'm serious and that was a long time ago.

Look, everything happens for a reason. It could be a contract or that the Yankees just wanted to change it up again and eventually that will come out, but for now, I have to say this is a major development!

Just sharing... it's Saturday. It's beautiful in the Northeast. I'm going out and enjoying my day. You should too!
