Yankees Bring Minor League Baseball To Dutchess County

WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY — Dutchess Stadium in Wappingers Falls will be the home in 2021 of a New York Yankees minor league team.

The Yankees recently announced its new minor league affiliation structure and, at the High Single-A Level, the Yankees will be aligned with the Hudson Valley Renegades, which was most recently a New York-Penn League affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays.

"The determination was made that Hudson Valley would be best for our players, especially given the long-term and tremendously beneficial relationship we have had with Marvin Goldklang, who is a longstanding partner and associate of the Steinbrenner family and the Yankees," a news release from the Yankees said.

Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro said the county was proud to join the long illustrious history of the New York Yankees as host of a minor league affiliate at Dutchess Stadium.

"We are all excited for live baseball and looking forward to a great 2021 baseball season, collaborating with the New York Yankees and the Goldklang Group to ensure this new partnership brings a successful franchise to Dutchess County," he said.
