This is old news but good to see that the Mets were really interested in a AAA affiliation with a team based in New York.  When Rochester went off the board, they re-upped with Las Vegas for 2 years.

That is exactly when the Syracuse agreement with the Nationals expires.  I hope this is not a coincidence.  The Nats are rumored to want to have a AAA team in Richmond, which only has a AA team right now.

The best way for the Chiefs to solve their long term attendance problems is to become affiliated with the Mets.  Las Vegas has consistently had good teams since working with the Mets, which always helps.

Hope it happens.  We are fortunate to have a AAA franchise here, especially given how bad attendance has been.  Getting a long term affiliation with a team that makes sense needs to happen.  Let's do it!

And woo hoo on the Cespedes news.  Let's turn some of our extra outfielders into relief pitchers and corner infielders now.
