Bridgewater, NJ- The Somerset Patriots officially signed Major League Baseball’s Professional Development License (PDL) prior to Wednesday’s deadline, formally accepting an invitation from the New York Yankees to become the team’s new Double-A affiliate. The PDL represents a 10-year agreement that guarantees Somerset will operate as the Yankees’ official Double-A affiliate through the 2030 season.
“We have always conducted our business paralleling the values of the New York Yankees,” said Somerset Patriots Chairman Emeritus Steve Kalafer. “We care about winning on and off the field and providing the best for our fans and the community we serve. In welcoming the Yankees, we have agreed to make TD Bank Ballpark the state-of-the-art minor league facility so that every ballplayer that comes through here will be able to reach their maximum potential.”
