The Chicago Cubs have announced that they are no longer affiliated with the West Tenn Diamondjaxx and are now affiliated with the Tennessee Smokies. This will end a 9 years affiliation for the Cubs. Before that they were affiliated with the Orlando Rays. The Cubs will still be in the Southern League for the 28th consecutive season. In 2006 the Diamondjaxx drew less than 100,000 fans the first team to do so in the league in five years. The Smokies on the other hand drew over 250,000 and routinely rank among the attendance leaders in the Southern League. This move will allow more exposure for the Cubs prospects and it is a great move in my opinion. All of the other Cubs' affiliates will remain the same.
