The Boston Red Sox and Lowell Spinners announced the extension of their Player Development Contract for an additional two years. The extension keeps the Red Sox New York-Penn League Short-Season Single-A affiliate in Lowell through the 2014 season.
“We are very happy to extend our productive relationship with the Spinners through 2014,” Red Sox Director of Player Development Ben Crockett said. “The Spinners organization and the community of Lowell really embrace our young players and provide them an exciting introduction to Red Sox Nation. Drew Weber, Tim Bawmann and the entire Spinners staff foster an excellent atmosphere for development and we look forward to our continued partnership.”
The Red Sox entered into an agreement with the Spinners when the franchise moved from Elmira, N.Y. to Lowell before the 1996 season. The PDC was last extended for two years through the 2012 season in December 2009.
