MLB has renamed the divisions in Minor-League baseball.

The Frisco RoughRiders are now part of the Double-A Central. They used to be part of the Texas League which was founded in 1888. There had been several changes along the way.

The teams competing in the newly named Double-A Central League remain mostly the same.

The Wichita Wind Surge and the San Antonio Missions are new additions to the League from the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.

A formal name is expected to be announced at a later date so we’ll see if it remains the Texas League as it’s been known since 1888.

Heath is the founder of The Prospect Times and is a life-long Rangers fan. He wanted to focus more on the Rangers farm system so this site was born. Nolan Ryan is his favorite pitcher of all time. When Heath isn't working his full-time job, he is busy spending time with his wife and two young sons.
