Get to know your Royals minor league affiliates

It has been a long time coming, but the minor league season is finally upon us. The season was canceled last year and pushed back by a month this year due to the pandemic, but tonight teams will kick off the season. The minors will look a bit different after MLB seized control of the minors, reshuffled a few affiliates, and cut out short-season rookie ball leagues. The Royals will have two new affiliates this year - the Quad Cities Bandits and Columbia Fireflies.

COVID-19 safety protocols will vary by ballpark, so check the team website before going out to a game.
