Chattanooga New Home For Twins' Double-A Affiliate
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Chattanooga is the new home of the Minnesota Twins' Double-A minor-league affiliate.
The Southern League's Chattanooga Lookouts announced Wednesday that they had signed a four-year player development contract with the Twins. The Twins' previous Double-A home had been in New Britain, Connecticut.
Chattanooga was affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the last six years. The Texas League's Tulsa Drillers announced Wednesday they'd reached an affiliation agreement with the Dodgers.
This marks Chattanooga's first affiliation with an American League organization since 1987, when the Lookouts were partnered with the Seattle Mariners. Chattanooga was the Double-A home for the Cincinnati Reds from 1988-2008 before the Dodgers arrived.
