Rochester Red Wings, 22-39, 10th place I.L. East, 20GB
The Red Wings reverted hard to the mean with six-game sweep by the (ugh) Woo Sox. When does the second half start? Not soon enough. This week Rochester returns home to host Jacksonville for the first of two series between the two teams. Roster moves: SS Nasim Nuñez optioned by Washington.
Harrisburg Senators, 28-29, 3rd place E.L. Southwest, 10GB
Harrisburg took four of six from Reading and is now just a game under .500. This week the Senators rematch against the fourth-place BaySox for five night games and a day game on Sunday.
Wilmington Blue Rocks, 24-33, 4th place Sally Lg. North, 15GB
The Blue Rocks make their lone trip to South Carolina to face the Spartanburgers for the second of two series between the two teams. Last week, Wilmington split its series with Brooklyn to hold serve in the Sally League’s North Division.
Fredericksburg Nationals, 25-31, 4th Place C.L. North, 10½ GB
Fredericksburg took its first series since April with four wins in six games against Delmarva. This week, it’s a trip to Fayetteville. In other news, the Silber family has cashed out and sold to Diamond Baseball Holdings. DBH, which also owns the Harrisburg Senators, has bought 44 MiLB teams since the 2021 coup d’état and is quickly approaching its limit of 56 teams (14 per level).
While there are no plans to move the team—with a stadium built in 2020 that seems unlikely—it would appear that in the short-term, with every team that DBH acquires it gains more leverage. Given that there is no track record as to what will happen when the PDLs expire, there is ample reason to be suspicious in the long term. meanwhile, the changes are likely to be minimal. Ticket prices will still rise steadily, just as they did in Woodbridge. Likewise for concessions, for which DBH will undoubtedly leverage its economies of scale to both cut costs and increase the profit margins. Roster moves: IF Jorgelys Mota placed on the 7-Day I.L.
