According the WSJ, Norfolk has dumped the Mets in the hopes of establishing a relationship with a team that is located nearer to them, like the Nationals or the Orioles.
The Mets are apparently considering adding the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (PA) Red Barons as an affiliate, but will potentially be competing with the Yankees for that relationship. The Red Barons were dumped by the Phillies. The Yankees dumped the Columbus Clippers. And now both NY teams may want to affiliate with the northeast Pennsylvania Red Barons.
I don't know if it helps of hurts that the Red Barons are right down the road from Binghamton, and that the Mets' AA and AAA teams would be a 50 minute drive from each other.

Interesting.. D. wright grew up in norfolk and that's why he was a life-long mets fan. I had read the other day that yankees were thinking of splitting with clippers.
Scranton... "The Office". Classic.
