The Athletic looks at the teams kicked out of minor league baseball one year later
What becomes of a minor-league team when it gets evicted from the minor leagues? More than 40 teams recently found out.
One of the teams they profile is the Lexington Legends, formerly the A-ball affiliate of the Royals, who became an independent team full of washed-up veterans. Their best hitter? Courtney Hawkins who OPS'ed 1.104 and slugged 34 home runs for them in just a 120 game season.
