The Tri-City ValleyCats have filed a lawsuit against Major League Baseball and the Houston Astros after the MLB team's decision to end its affiliation with the minor league squad, according to Mark Singelais of the Times-Union.
ValleyCats chairman Doug Gladstone said his team is seeking $15 million in damages.
MLB contracted 42 minor league teams this offseason, allowing each parent organization to keep only four affiliates. The ValleyCats were part of the New York-Penn League, a short-season competition that has since folded.
