In the third week of November, the Rochester Red Wings baseball team disclosed a new affiliation with the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball. A member of the National League East Division, the Washington Nationals play in Washington, D.C. This affiliation is the result of unceremonious jettisoning of the minor league team by the Minnesota Twins. The Rochester Red Wings had been affiliated with the Minnesota Twins since 2003.
The recent affiliation with Nationals secured a future space for Rochester in Triple A baseball.
