SALT LAKE CITY (Aug. 13, 2018) - The Los Angeles Angels and Salt Lake Bees announced a two-year extension of their Player Development Contract today, covering the 2021-2022 seasons. The Bees and Angels partnership will run at least 22 years as the two teams first became affiliated in the 2001 season.
"Salt Lake City is a town that we really enjoy being in. It's a great community and fan base," Angels General Manager Billy Eppler said. "We are very comfortable with Marc Amicone, the entire front office and ownership group. To be able to extend this affiliation was important and frankly, an easy decision for us."
The current Angels 25-man roster includes 20 players that have suited up for Salt Lake during their careers. In total, 28 different players have suited up for both Salt Lake and Los Angeles this season including Major League debuts by Jaime Barria, Justin Anderson, Michael Hermosillo, Josè Briceño, Jose Miguel Fernandez, David Fletcher, Jake Jewell and Francisco Arcia.
"In 18 years of affiliation the Angels have not only supplied us with great players and coaches on the field, but also in our community," said Bees President Marc Amicone. "We want to thank Billy Eppler and all of the Angels front office staff who make this affiliation so special."
The Angels affiliation has brought dozens of players to Salt Lake that would go on to stardom in the Major Leagues including two-time American League MVP Mike Trout, Gold Glove winner Kole Calhoun, Jered Weaver, Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar, Mike Napoli, Chone Figgins, John Lackey, Francisco Rodriguez and many more.
The 2018 Bees regular season is winding down as Salt Lake has only 10 home games remaining. Following home games with El Paso on Tuesday and Wednesday night the Bees will embark on a 12-game road trip before finishing with seven straight home games beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 28. Tickets for the final home games are available at www.slbees.com.
