What is the reason behind minor league clubs changing big league teams so much?


Many minor league teams are NOT owned by the parent club or the owners of the club. (The Braves are an exception--owning all but one affiliate--and the Cardinals' ownership owns Memphis and I think Springfield as well.)

So it's all a matter of $$$--can they get a better deal from another MLB club?

Because having your Triple A affiliate less than 2 time zones away from the parent club would just make too much sense...

Cleveland, Milwaukee, Chicago, Baltimore, Seattle, San Diego, and the LA Dodgers have all had a AA team in San Antonio
