AquaSox to remain a Mariner affiliate

The Everett AquaSox announced Tuesday that they have renewed their player-development contract with the Seattle Mariners.

The two-year agreement ensures the AquaSox will be a Mariner affiliate through the 2010 baseball season.

“We are very happy about the two-year extension of our player development contract with the Seattle Mariners,” AquaSox General Manager Brian Sloan said. “Our affiliation with the Seattle Mariners is definitely the most important business relationship we have. It has been very exciting to see some of the Mariners stars of today start their careers in Everett."

Among the current Mariners who have played in Everett are Felix Hernandez, J.J. Putz, Jose Lopez, Jeff Clement, Bryan LaHair and Willie Bloomquist.

The AquaSox have been an affiliate of the Mariners since the 1995 season.

“We are pleased to be able to extend our working agreement with the AquaSox for two more years,” Seattle Mariners Director of Player Development Greg Hunter said. “Everett has played a vital role in our player development system for the past 14 years and we feel fortunate that our affiliation has now been extended through 2010."
