As expected the Jays have decided to go with AAA Buffalo, AA New Hampshire, A+ Vancouver, A Dunedin (lowest level of the minors now). Goodbye to Lansing (who should find another affiliation - probably Oakland it appears), Bluefield, and GCL Jays. The DSL team might survive though.
What does this mean?
- No more short season teams - Vancouver is now a full season team (140 games roughly)
- Tons of teams now will be shifted to indy leagues or close down
- A list of all AAA/AA affiliates
- A new Draft League is now formed using some of the cities that lost affiliation.
