Tribe should trade Triple-A teams
Yankees want out of Columbus,
so give them Buffalo right now
WINDERMERE — Read a story today that the New York Yankees want to end their 28-year relationship with the Columbus Clippers. If that's the case, the Dolans need to pull every possible trick in the law book to grab that AAA International League market.
I don't know what the Indians' contract is with the Buffalo Bisons, but I'm sure officials there would love a chance to land the Yankees.
Columbus could be a great market for Indians-ticket sales, and the Clippers will play in a new ballpark in 2008. Buffalo is 190 miles from Cleveland, Columbus 120 — an hour closer even for the pokiest driver.
Plus, there's an intangible benefit when your top prospects are just a limo ride away (Akron and Columbus) — the lazy fat-cats on the MLB roster have to keep looking over their shoulder.
Make the deal, Larry. Fast.
