Twins leave Edmonton in favor of Rochester

Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins changed farm teams Tuesday, signing the Rochester, N.Y., Red Wings as its Triple-A affiliate for the next two years.

For the past two years, the Edmonton Trappers was the Twins highest-level farm team.

The Twins also renewed their contract with the Single-A Quad City River Bandits. The Twins have been affiliated with Quad City since 1999.

The agreement with Rochester marks a return to the International League for the Twins. Minnesota was affiliated with the Toledo Mud Hens in 1986.

''This is a high-profile organization with a tremendous reputation throughout baseball,'' Twins general manager Terry Ryan said in a release.

''We look forward to building this relationship for many years to come,'' he said.

Pretty amazing the Orioles blew the longest running relationship in minor league baseball. There whole orginization must be a mess.

Today the Orioles signed a two-year agreement with the Ottawa Lynx (International). That leaves Fresno and Edmonton, Montreal and San Francisco. Since I think SF and Fresno will re-up, that is likely going to leave the Expos and the Edmonton Trappers together.
