Quick update: looks like Fresno finally accepted the low-A invite

Wow, not sure how I missed the Sounds announcement that they were moving back to the Brewers organization.

Milwaukee Brewers (from 2021)
Texas Rangers (2019–2020)
Oakland Athletics (2015–2018)
Milwaukee Brewers (2005–2014)

That's quite the 6 year run.

It was basically the only option left for the Brewers. There was some talk that maybe they'd end with Indianapolis as part of a chain of events kicked off by the Nationals going to a promoted Richmond, but that never materialized, and with the Rangers going back to Round Rock, the Brewers/Nashville matchup was the only one left.

So three teams will have a Triple-A affiliate in their respective outer suburbs. Never realized Sugar Land was that big.

Sucks to see Royals losing affiliates in Idaho Falls, Lexington, Burlington, and Wilmington but I knew it was going to happen and glad it wasn't Omaha or Northwest Arkansas.  Quad Cities will be closer and maybe one day I can go to one of the games (which I thought about doing anyways). I doubt I'll head down to Columbia, SC, but I can't wait to see what happens next.  Also glad St. Louis was able to retain Peoria, its close enough that if I did make a trek to the Quad Cities, maybe I could catch a game in Peoria too.

Seen this today, list of teams losing affiliation.  MLB is cutting 3 teams from the MidWest League.  Clinton and Burlington were super small markets, so it makes sense, but I'm really surprised about Kane County.

I am glad Quad Cities are still in there.  At one point they were on the chopping block.  I've been to Modern Woodman Park, it's right on the Mississippi and a beautiful location for night games.
