Dodgers Leaving Columbus Due To Poor Field Conditions
Well, at least we know for sure that the Dodgers are leaving Sally League low-A Columbus, and the reason is because of the poor field conditions:
"It's because of the ballpark," Clary said. "There is a hole in the wall and problems with drainage. (The Dodgers) also asked about having the wall padded, and the city's response was, 'We're still assessing the situation.' "The Catfish are looking for another organization to take over their affiliation, possibly the Devil Rays or the Rangers.Golden Park is owned by the Columbus consolidated government. Columbus City Manager Isaiah Hughley said the city is looking into making adjustments to the field.
"We have been dealing with the drainage problems for many years," said Hughley, who hasn't had any communication with the Catfish about them changing their affiliation. "About three, four or five years ago, we addressed the problem in the outfield. The assumption was that the problem was resolved, but it came back this year.
"It wasn't practical to disrupt the season by tearing up the outfield, so we decided to wait until the end of the season."
