The Double-A Mississippi Braves introduced this week that they are going to depart Pearl, Mississippi, their hometown since 2005, after the 2024 season. The franchise will take up residence of their new residence of Columbus, Georgia, starting in 2025.
The transfer will virtually actually lead to a rebrand, leaving affiliated Minor League Baseball with simply 11 out of 120 groups named for his or her guardian golf equipment, together with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs, Syracuse Mets, and Worcester Pink Sox; Double-A Springfield Cardinals; Excessive-A South Bend Cubs; and Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, Fredericksburg Nationals, Palm Seaside Cardinals, Salem Pink Sox, San Jose Giants, and St. Lucie Mets.
The relocated M-Braves, one in all 29 golf equipment owned by quickly increasing Diamond Baseball Holdings, will deliver affiliated Minor League Baseball to Columbus, Georgia, for the primary time since 2008, when the Class-A Columbus Catfish left after 5 seasons to turn out to be the Bowling Inexperienced HotRods.
