The Railriders play in the North Division of the International League. The defending national champions are currently 8-8 on the year, trailing four teams in the division that is led by Buffalo, the farm team of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Surprisingly, former New York Mets castoff, Ruben Tejada, continues to lead the team in batting average (.368) and runs batted in with eleven. It’s hard to figure how he fits into the Yankees plans for the future given their depth at the shortstop position, but the fact that Tejada is still in the game makes for an interesting baseball story.
