Cubs Change Double-A Affiliate

The Chicago Cubs have ended their nine year relationship with the West Teen Diamond Jaxx and will have a new AA affiliate next season, the Tennessee Smokies, reports the AP. West Tenn has had some ownership issues, and attendance suffered this season. The Smokies had been the Arizona Diamondbacks' AA affiliate. Arizona wanted to keep them, but the Smokies wanted the Cubs' national fan base.
