Some Select Proposed Affiliation Switches

Chapter Chapter 5 in The Call Up to the Majors, 2015, pp 91-109 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Some affiliation switches are suggested for each of the four full-season classification levels of minor league baseball that will result in closer affiliate proximity for a Major League Baseball team while not leading to a greater distance to affiliate for another. Each one of these switches would be expected to lead to benefits for the Major League teams. These benefits include, but are not limited to, an improved player development process, lower player and staff travel costs, and greater regional brand awareness. This approach provides a realistic set of proposed affiliate switches that Major League Baseball executives could feasibly pursue.
