United States Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he’s urged Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred to “do right by the Rochester Red Wings.”
The Triple-A-League Wings have just lost the Minnesota Twins as their major league partner. Schumer says Wings fans and the team deserve to know that a high-level pro team will remain in Rochester, and what the new affiliation is going to be. He says it’s not only one of the best-run operations in Minor League ball, but the Wings have a huge fan base that puts them in the top half of attendance for Triple-A teams.
