Chihuahuas invited to remain with Padres system
The El Paso Chihuahuas are set to remain with the only parent club they've ever known, as the San Diego Padres have invited the Chihuahuas to remain as a their Triple-A affiliate.
The Padres invited El Paso to remain their AAA team, their former Double-A affiliate the San Antonio Missions to move back to that level, and Lake Elsinore and Fort Wayne (Ind.) to be retained as Class A affiliates.
All affiliations were voided this year in the aftermath of the COVID suspension, so El Paso will need to sign a new agreement with San Diego to stay with the Padres. The Chihuahuas have been a Padres affiliate since their inception in 2014.
