The Minnesota Twins Triple-A minor league affiliate just celebrated some very big news on Tuesday. After a bit of a tense situation surrounding the lease agreement between the Rochester Red Wings and their home ballpark, county-owned Frontier Filed, the two sides finally came to an agreement on a new 10-year lease agreement.
This was a situation that the Twins had to be paying close attention to. In fact, Derek Falvey was asked about it this past summer in his first official visit to Rochester. In that visit, Falvey expressed a desire to stay in the current affiliate agreement with the Red Wings and this lease agreement has to make those words feel that much more secure.
