The Iowa Cubs have already have two games under their belt and tonight, the other three full-season affiliates take the field, weather permitting. Today, I take a look at the Cubs’ Double-A affiliate, the Tennessee Smokies.
Most of the 2022 Smokies’ Opening Night roster played for the Smokies last season, at least during the second-half of the year. A few spent the whole season there.
Who?
Since 2007, the Tennessee Smokies have been the Cubs’ Double-A affiliate, the level just below the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. They play their games at Smokies Stadium in Sevierville, TN, which is about 20 minutes east of Knoxville.
