JetHawks Sign Deal with Red Sox

The Lancaster JetHawks minor league baseball team has signed a two-year player development contract and affiliation agreement with the Boston Red Sox. The move will bring Boston’s High Class players to the Antelope Valley club for the 2007 and 2008 seasons. The Sox is the third affiliate since the JetHawks was formed in 1996. The team had been a farm system for the Seattle Mariners for five years before inking a six-season agreement for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
