After finding themselves the team left standing in the game of Triple-A musical chairs the last time around, the Brewers are making sure they don’t get stuck in a less than ideal situation once again, announcing a Player Development Contract with the new-to-AAA San Antonio Missions today.
As JP noted the other day, there were a few options on the table for the Brewers for a Triple-A partner, with the current owners of Colorado Springs moving the team to San Antonio (and the former Helena rookie league team moving to the Springs). The other options — Fresno and Nashville — both had the benefit of Not Being Colorado Springs, but also had some drawbacks (travel time to Milwaukee from Fresno, and some possible lingering bad feelings with how the first Nashville relationship ended).
