The Staten Island Yankees are no more, and these stories about their sad existence prove they were the ultimate disaster.
The Yankees are about to engage in a major reshuffling of their minor-league affiliates following the total cancellation of the 2020 season, reportedly adding Somerset, NJ and a Hudson Valley squad instead of their current teams in Trenton, Staten Island and Charleston.
It’s jarring for many fans, who’ve grown used to the team’s highly stable set of affiliates; Staten Island’s been around since 1999, while the other partnerships have thrived since 2003 and 2005.
