Red Sox sign PDC with Lancaster Jethawks
The Boston Red Sox have announced a 2 year player development contract with the Lancaster Jethawks of the California League. The agreement comes just more than a week after the Wilmington Blue Rocks decided to sign with the Kansas City Royals, forcing the Red Sox to find a home for their High A affiliate. The agreement with Lancaster runs through the 2007 and 2008 seasons. The move returns the Red Sox to the California League for the first time in over 50 years. From 1947-1955 the Red Sox had a farm team in San Jose as the team was known as the San Jose Red Sox.
