The announcement from this afternoon was a bit confusing at first, but here is what the Atlanta Braves told us:
It’s a bit confusing because the Brevard Manatees are actually in Melbourne, FL right now. But it appears that two moves are in store: Braves’ Advanced-A league farmhands will come to Kissimmee while the franchise currently known as the Brevard County Manatees will join them there and function as the ownership group – just as the Carolina Mudcats did in Zebulon, NC for the past 2 seasons.
Q&A Session
Could the Mudcats have also relocated to Kissimmee, skipping the step involving the Manatees?
