Between the 2006 and 2007 seasons Major League Baseball did a shuffle of Minor League affiliates.. In that shuffle the Mets got rid of the Norfolk Tides and took on the New Orleans Zephyrs.. Now just two seasons later the Mets are dumping their affiliation with New Orleans and are taking on the Buffalo Bisons as their AAA team... So, what does that mean for the Zephyrs? They are of course going to become the AAA team of the Florida Marlins.. The Marlins old team (the Isotopes) is being taken by the Dodgers.. Where does it all end??
All in all six teams are moving affiliations before the 2009 season.. The thing that's really odd about this whole thing is that the teams don't really change, what happens is that all the employees of the 2008 New Orleans team move to Buffalo for 2009 and so on..
Buffalo Bisons - from Indians to Mets
Syracuse Chiefs - from Blue Jays to Nationals
New Orleans Zephyrs - from Mets to Marlins
Columbus Clippers - from Nationals to Indians
Las Vegas 51s - from Dodgers to Blue Jays
Alburquergue Isotopes - from Marlins to Dodgers
