CLEVELAND - Bye-bye, Buffalo. Hello, Columbus?
The Indians informed Major League Baseball on Tuesday of their desire to terminate their player development contract with Triple-A Buffalo, ending a 14-year partnership with the Bisons.
The Indians' decision appears to clear the way for the club to move its top minor league affiliate to Columbus, Ohio, which will have a new stadium next season. Cleveland already has three minor league teams - Akron, Lake County and Mahoning Valley - in Ohio.
In a statement released by the team, the Indians said MLB will inform them on Sept. 15 of available locations for their Triple-A affiliate.
