The Dodgers will no longer be affiliated with the Ogden Raptors, according to several different sources this week. The MLB team is cutting ties with their minor league affiliate after a 17 year run with the Los Angeles based organization.
The move by the Dodgers represents the massive changes taking place across baseball at the minor league level. The number of affiliate teams is supposed to drop from 160 teams to just 120. Each organization will be left with just 4 affiliates in addition to the two teams that play at their Spring Training complexes.
