Devil Rays, Bulls extend agreement

By
January 31, 2006
ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Durham Bulls today agreed on a two-year extension of their current player development contract, ensuring the storied Minor League franchise will remain a Devil Rays affiliate in the International League through the 2008 season. The current agreement runs through the 2006 season.

"The Durham Bulls franchise has been an important member of the Devil Rays family from our very beginning and has become an American baseball icon," said Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. "We are pleased that this association will continue."

The Bulls and Rays have enjoyed an affiliation since 1998. In the eight seasons since then, Durham has won five International League Southern Division titles and two International League championships.
