Mariners announce new affiliation with Arkansas
- Updated: September 20, 2016
SEATTLE — The Mariners will be fielding their Double-A team in the Texas League next year as the club announced a two-year player development contract with the Arkansas Travelers on Tuesday.
The Mariners’ 10-year affiliation with Jackson in the Southern League ended Monday, when the Generals signed a four-year deal with the D-backs.
Arkansas had been affiliated with the Angels for the past 15 years. The club has been playing in North Little Rock, Ark., since 1901 and in the Texas League since 1966. The franchise was a Triple-A club for the Phillies from 1963-65, then was the Cardinals’ Double-A affiliate from 1966-2000.
