High-A Affiliation Shuffle, 2016

Related Topics: High Desert Mavericks

Hi. Remember me? I used to run a blog.

Anyway, if you follow me on twitter, you've seen my takes on Adelanto's unilateral termination of the Use Agreement allowing High Desert to play in the city'owned stadium (storfied here and here). Though the dispute doesn't directly involve the Rangers, they're obviously affected, and this mess only provides further impetus (as if any were needed) for them to escape to somewhere, anywhere, during the next affiliation shuffle this September.

Easier said than done, however. As I've written before, the high-A classification is especially troublesome for Texas for reasons of geography and loyalty.
