WASHINGTON – The New York Yankees announced a shakeup of their minor league system on Saturday, with their Double-A team moving in New Jersey from Trenton to Somerset of the Atlantic League for 2021.
Trenton had been in the Eastern League, also the home of the Harrisburg Senators in the Nationals’ farm system, since 1994 and a farm team of the Yankees since 2003.
But it appears for now anyway, the Nationals won’t have a minor league affiliate in Waldorf, Maryland at the home of the independent Southern Maryland Blue Crabs – also of the Atlantic League.
