Well, now we know where the Washington Nationals’ minor league affiliates will (likely) be in 2021, and as Nats’ GM Mike Rizzo noted in the club’s press release on the announcement on sending invitations to each of the four organizations (to Rochester, Harrisburg, Wilmington, and Fredericksburg), “all four affiliates are located in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with Harrisburg, Wilmington and Fredericksburg located within 120 miles of Nationals Park.”
They also thanked Fresno for two great seasons with the Grizzlies as the Nationals’ affiliate, so nothing personal, Grizz, but that situation wasn’t ideal, obviously, and pending official acceptance of all the invites, some more of this winter’s questions have been answered.
