2013 AA & AAA Affiliates- Ottawa/NH, Ottawa/Buffalo 

Post#1 » by baulderdash77 » Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:29 pm

It seems that there's real legs to our 2013 affiliate becoming Ottawa.

They're working on a deal with the Mets to replace NH with Ottawa as our AA affiliate.

The other interesting part is that our deal with LV and the Mets deal with Buffalo is up after next season too. So there's another opportunity for a switch there too.

IMO Buffalo is the perfect AAA team for us with the similar climate, proximity and ability of fans to see the top prospects play there. It sure would be nice to be able to actually put our pitching prospects in AAA.

It is 100% up to Buffalo to decide whether they want the Jays or Mets. We would jump at the opportunity to move to Buffalo at anytime but especially now so we can get away from Las Vegas.
