Baseball s minor league affiliate restructuring is affecting two teams along the Hudson River.
The Tri-City ValleyCats learned this week that they were left out of Major League Baseball’s plan to restructure the Minor League system, which eliminates short-season baseball and cuts the number of affiliated teams from 160 to 120. That ends the team s long association with the Houston Astros. The ValleyCats have been with the New York-Penn League since 2002 when they moved from Pittsfield to Troy.
Mayor Patrick Madden says losing the affiliation is a huge disappointment. He adds a ValleyCats game at the Joe Bruno Stadium offered inexpensive family entertainment and a place for social gathering.
