We have had affiliates of the Cardinals, Astros, White Sox, Yankees, Indians, Dodgers, Pirates and Rays call Columbus home, but this will be the first time the Braves will be represented.

Hard to believe Columbus hasn't had a team in 17 years. I feel like the Yankees ran a never-ending supply of desperate bullpen arms and spot starters back and forth through the Columbus shuttle for decades.
