A few things of note in the Blue Jays minor league system. The Bluefield Blue Jays will continue to play ball at Bowen Field in 2017 and 2018 after the club agreed to a two-year extension of its Player Development Contract with Toronto. Bluefield joins Buffalo, New Hampshire, Lansing and Vancouver in having their stays extended for the next two seasons.
The Bluefield Blue Jays have been affiliated with Toronto since the 2011 campaign.
The Bluefield Daily Telegraph says despite the late date of the Player Development Contract extension, Blue Jays director of minor league operations Charlie Wilson says there was never any doubt from the team's end that this partnership would continue.
