Yankees Triple-A Affiliate Becomes Highlanders

The New York Yankees' Triple-A affiliate has officially rebranded as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Highlanders ahead of the 2027 season. This name change honors the Northeast Pennsylvania terrain and the New York Highlanders, who played from 1903 to 1912. Just like those Highlanders became the Yankees, today's Highlanders are on their way to becoming tomorrow's Bronx Bombers!
