Las Vegas Informer

The Las Vegas 51s professional baseball team signed a two-year Player Development Contract with the New York Mets on Wednesday. The 51s will be the new AAA affiliate of the Mets.

“We are excited to welcome the Mets as our new Triple-A affiliate,” 51s Executive Director Don Logan said. The Mets will be the 51s’ fourth major-league affiliate in the team’s 30-year history.

Las Vegas’s previous major league affiliate, the Toronto Blue Jays, announced today that they have signed a similar two-year contract with the AAA Buffalo (NY) Bisons.

“We are excited about our new partnership with the Las Vegas 51s and the city of Las Vegas, one which values equally player development, winning and community involvement,” Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson said.

The full press release from the Mets is below.
