How does an MLB team complement the state’s existing minor-league team?

Utah wouldn’t be the first MLB market to host an MiLB team successfully. The following teams have Triple-A affiliates within 45 miles of the MLB team:

  • Minnesota Twins & St. Paul Saints
  • Houston Astros & Sugarland Space Cowboys
  • Atlanta Braves & Gwinnett Stripers
  • Seattle Mariners & Tacoma Rainiers
  • Boston Red Sox & Worcester Red Sox
