Tri-City Dust Devils News Release
The Tri-City Dust Devils and San Diego Padres are pleased to announce the extension of their player development contract through the 2018 season, ensuring the Dust Devils will remain a Padres affiliate for at least the next two seasons.
"The Tri-City Dust Devils organization, under the leadership of Brent Miles and Derrel Ebert, has been a great partner for the last two seasons, and we look forward to continuing our relationship," said Padres Executive Vice President and General Manager A.J. Preller. "Tri-City provides an important environment for players to acclimate to the Padres organization, especially given the influx of young talent into our player development system."
The Dust Devils began their affiliation with the Padres in 2015, a season that saw Tri-City win a Northwest League Northern Division Championship after completing a 42-34 regular season.
"The Padres have been a fantastic partner for the Dust Devils, on and off the field," stated Dust Devils President Brent Miles. "They have generously supported our local community through programs such as Home Runs for Kids and First Responders Night".
Dust Devils Vice President-General Manager Derrel Ebert added, "We are thrilled to extend our partnership with the Padres. They have been a first class organization throughout our partnership and we look forward to many more successful years together."
Padres President and CEO Mike Dee was on hand at Gesa Stadium for tonight's announcement. "I'd like to thank the Tri-City Dust Devils for their partnership over the past two seasons," said Dee. "I'd also be remiss not to recognize the Tri-City community, Dust Devils Booster Club and host families, who have all embraced our organization and our players. We look forward to the next two seasons, and beyond"
The Dust Devils 2016 campaign continues through the regular season finale on Monday, September 5th. Tickets can be purchased by contacting the Dust Devils front office at (509) 544-8789, by visiting dustdevilsbaseball.com or at the Gesa Stadium box office.
