With owner Chuck Greenberg now an owner of the Texas Rangers, it was only natural that the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (High Class A; Carolina League) would shift affiliation to the Rangers; we’re told it will be announced tomorrow.
The move ends the Pelicans’ relationship with the Atlanta Braves.
The move comes after the Rangers officially informed the Bakersfield Blazer (High Class A; Carolina League) it will not be renewing the team’s PDC.
Here’s a look at the current affiliate status.
