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.

Fußnoten
1
Note that these suggested affiliation switches are based on the 2014 allocation of affiliations. The affiliation switches that were announced in October 2014 are not used as a baseline comparison in this analysis. But they do suggest some of the important features that must be considered when seeking to form new affiliations between Major League Baseball teams and minor league baseball teams.
 
2
In the work I did with Seth Gitter, we determined that winning teams at only the Double A and both Class A Advanced and Class A levels in full-season minor league baseball lead to higher attendance. But the number of additional fans in these settings amounted to much less than 100 fans per game—almost 50 fans at the Class A level and about 90 fans at the Double A level (Gitter and Rhoads 2010).
 
3
Seth Gitter and I determined that only prospects rated in the top 5 by Baseball America in their listing of the Top 100 prospects increased attendance marginally at the Triple A level only (Gitter and Rhoads 2011).
 
4
Note that prior to the 2013 season the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets switched affiliates. The New York Mets’ new affiliate became the Las Vegas 51’s in the Pacific Coast League and the Toronto Blue Jays’ new affiliate became the Buffalo Bisons in the International League. Thus, in switching Triple A affiliates, New York and Toronto also switched leagues at the Triple A level.
 
5
The Aces moved to Reno from Tucson, Arizona, in 2009. In Tucson, the team had been named the Sidewinders and had been affiliated with the Diamondbacks since 1998. We treat the move to Reno as if the Diamondbacks began a new affiliation.
 
6
The Charleston Riverdogs in Charleston, South Carolina, are the Class A-level affiliate of the New York Yankees.
