The end of the season signifies a time when Minor League Affiliation contracts are either extended or fall by the wayside, forcing teams to find a new team to play host to their farm system. The Kansas City Royals renewed contracts with two of their minor league teams this week.
In Triple-A, the Omaha Storm Chasers were already signed on to be affiliated through 2020, as they signed a two year extension in July. The Northwest Arkansas Naturals are also signed on through the 2020 season.
This week, the Kansas City Royals signed extensions with both the Wilmington Blue Rocks and the Lexington Legends in order to keep them through the 2020 season as well.
