MET'S INVITE 4 TEAMS TO BE AFFILIATES

METS INVITE FOUR TEAMS TO BE THEIR AFFILIATES FLUSHING, N.Y., December 9, 2020 – The New York Mets today announced that they have invited the Syracuse Mets, Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Brooklyn Cyclones and the St. Lucie Mets to become the organization’s four minor league affiliates under Major League Baseball’s new player development structure set to begin in 2021. Three of the four teams invited to become affiliates are in New York (Syracuse, Binghamton and Brooklyn) and the fourth is the site of the Mets Spring Training home (Port St. Lucie, FL). “We feel having a first-class player development system is crucial to achieving sustained success on the field, and all four of our affiliates are critical to that effort,” said Mets President Sandy Alderson. “We are proud to have worked with such great leadership throughout the state and in each of these communities and are thankful for their continued support.” Syracuse, which became a Mets affiliate in 2019, has been invited to serve as its Triple-A affiliate. Syracuse was also a Mets affiliate in 1962 and Mets Hall of Famer Ed Kranepool played for the team as a 17-year-old. Binghamton has been invited to continue as the Double-A affiliate and has been a Mets affiliate since 1992. Edgardo Alfonzo, Pete Alonso, Michael Conforto, Jacob deGrom, José Reyes, Noah Syndergaard and David Wright are among numerous players to have played minor league baseball in Binghamton. Brooklyn is invited to become the team’s High-A affiliate after serving as a short-season affiliate since 2001. The Cyclones have shattered numerous short-season attendance records and the ballpark is located less than 100 yards from the famous Coney Island boardwalk. St. Lucie has been invited to serve as the club’s Low-A affiliate. St. Lucie underwent a $57 million renovation during the 2019 offseason and has been a Mets affiliate since 1988 when the club moved to the Treasure Coast for Spring Training. “It is official: the Mets will keep their minor league affiliation in Binghamton, NY!,” said Senator Schumer. “After over a year of advocating to preserve the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, and working directly with the Mets, Major League Baseball (MLB), the Rumble Ponies and local leaders to ensure that MLB-affiliated minor league baseball continues to be played in the Southern Tier, this result is nothing short of a home run for all – and especially for the fans here in the Southern Tier. “The Rumble Ponies have done a tremendous job weaving themselves into the very fabric of Binghamton and the Mets have yet again demonstrated their deep commitment to baseball in New York, where they have their AAA, AA and high A teams, from Brooklyn to Binghamton to Syracuse. That rich history will be unbroken and the love for the game can continue to be discovered and nurtured right here in the Carousel Capital. I look forward to more Rumble Ponies’ games in the Southern Tier, and I will continue to work closely with the Mets, including their new owner, Mr. Cohen, all local leaders and stakeholders to step up to the plate and ensure a successful season of our national pastime in Binghamton.” "We are thrilled to have the New York Mets continue to call Onondaga County home,” said Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon. “When Onondaga County joined the Mets family in 2019 as the Triple-A affiliate, there was an undeniable excitement and momentum in our community. Now with the $25 million renovation of NBT Bank Stadium nearly complete, we are excited more than ever to once again enjoy a baseball game in safe and healthy way while cheering on the New York Mets!" "This is welcome news and a huge win for our community,” said New York State Senator Fred Akshar. “My sincere thanks go out the New York Mets, their new owner Steve Cohen and President Sandy Alderson. This couldn’t happen without strong commitments, investments and cooperation at the national, state and local level with our local partners U.S. Senator Schumer, Binghamton Mayor David and Rumble Ponies owner John Hughes. A true team effort that I'm proud to be a part of. On behalf of our community, I can’t wait to see baseball return once again when this pandemic is hopefully far behind us." “We are proud to continue as the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets and look forward to supporting their newfound commitment to excellence,” said Binghamton Rumble Ponies President John Hughes. “We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Senator Chuck Schumer, Congressman Brindisi for his perseverance and a huge thank you to Steve Cohen and Sandy Alderson for entrusting the Ponies.” "The return of our beloved Brooklyn Cyclones, reigning champions of the New York-Penn League, is great news for our Coney Island community,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. “It's even better news that our hometown team has gotten the call-up to High-A baseball, extending our season while moving our players closer to the big leagues. The Cyclones have been an anchor of our seaside economy, so adding home games in the spring will be a real home run for our small businesses that benefit from the additional fan traffic." “St. Lucie County is pleased to continue its longstanding relationship with the New York Mets,” said Chair, St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners Chris Dzadovsky. “The $57 million renovation of Clover Park creates a first class setting for Spring Training and its baseball facilities will provide minor league players a great opportunity to take their game to the next level. Let’s Go Mets!”

RENAGADES WILL BE A YANKEE FULL LEAGUE CLUB

EARNING THEIR (PIN)STRIPES Hudson Valley Renegades invited to become High-A affiliate of the New York Yankees Wappingers Falls, NY (December 9, 2020) - The 27-time World Series Champions are coming to town, as the most storied franchise in professional sports has invited the Renegades to become an affiliate beginning with the 2021 season. For their first 26 years, the Renegades played to packed houses at Dutchess Stadium in the short-season New York Penn League. Starting next season, the ballpark will come alive for the first time as a full season club, providing fans and partners dozens of extra opportunities each year to experience the combination of world class baseball and entertainment. “Our most important assets are our young players coming up through our system, the future New York Yankees” said Yankees Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Cashman. “We are looking forward to seeing our players become an integral part of the Hudson Valley community and further develop their baseball talent at Dutchess Stadium for many years to come. We really appreciate the opportunity to partner with The Renegades, the Goldklang Group and everyone in Dutchess County”. The partnership aligns the Yankees’ three highest affiliates geographically- Scranton, PA (AAA) and Somerset, NJ (AA)- creating tremendous synergy for their player development needs. The agreement also continues the relationship between the parent club and Renegades’ ownership group, led by the Goldklang family. The group has operated a Yankee affiliate in Charleston, SC for the last 16 years, and the group’s Chairman, Marv Goldklang, has been a limited partner in the parent club for over four decades. “The Renegades are thrilled to partner with the 27-time world champion New York Yankees and look forward to seeing many top prospects play at The Dutch for years to come. To affiliate with them, in the shadow of Yankee Stadium in beautiful Hudson Valley, is a dream come true for so many of our fans. We can’t wait for the first pitch in 2021” said Jeff Goldklang, President of the Goldklang Group. The Renegades have called Dutchess Stadium home since 1994 and are regarded as one of the Hudson Valley’s premiere entertainment destinations. Consistently placing at or near the top in average attendance in their League, the transition to a full season should not only be seamless but create additional opportunities for fans to experience the combination of industry-leading entertainment and tomorrow’s Yankee stars. Since their inception in 1994, the Renegades have won three championships (1999, 2012, and 2017), as well as the prestigious Bob Freitas award by Baseball America for operational excellence in 1998 and 2019. “Growing up a Yankees fan and now being invited to become their High Class-A affiliate is truly amazing” said Steve Gliner, President and General Manager of the Renegades. “We are excited that we could provide the people of the Hudson Valley some exciting news during these difficult and trying times.” The Dutch has benefitted from several upgrades meant to modernize and update the facility to current baseball standards in recent years- most notably the complete replacement of the seating bowl and a full-scale improvement of the parking lot- and future commitment to Yankee player development needs was of primary focus for the Yankees in deciding to select Dutchess County and the Renegades for their affiliation. Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said, “Dutchess County is truly thrilled to partner with baseball’s most successful franchise, the New York Yankees, and our hometown Hudson Valley Renegades to host the Yanks’ High Single-A affiliate at our own Dutchess Stadium. For more than a quarter-century, the Renegades have offered quality family entertainment, thrilling fans from throughout the Hudson Valley. The team’s new affiliation with the Yankees will only expand the Renegades’ appeal, as fans from throughout New York State and the northeast have already reached out, eager to be part of this exciting new affiliation. When they come to Dutchess Stadium to watch the next generation of Yankees stars take their formative steps, these new fans will enjoy all our county has to offer – from unique dining and tourist destinations, to the small-town charm and sense of community that make Dutchess County a worldwide destination. We congratulate the Yankees and Renegades on their new collaboration, and we look forward to being a willing host and partner for years to come.” The invitation will result in the Yankees becoming the third different affiliate in the Renegades 27-year history. They were a Texas Rangers affiliate (1994-95) and a longtime partner with the Tampa Bay Rays (1996-2020). A press conference has been scheduled for Thursday, December 10th, at 1pm.

Starting the day with a 4-foot putt for birdie on No. 1, the Swede carded three more until an unfortunate bogey on No. 18 cost her the solo lead. One of the youngest players on Tour, 19-year-old 2020 LPGA Tour rookie Noh shot the lowest round of the day with six birdies and one bogey to card a day-two 66. Last of the three tied leaders was five-time LPGA Tour winner Korda, who saw more up and downs on the front nine followed by seven pars on the back. “I'm excited that I played really solid today and that it was a little bit warmer today than yesterday,” said Nordqvist, who co-leads after 36-holes for the second time in 2020. “There was a lot of tough pin placements out there and I felt like they did a really good job of putting them on top of crests and stuff like that. I feel like we managed the game good and I'm very happy.” “I think I made four in a row on making the turn too,” said Noh of her birdie opportunities. “So, let's see, it was 8, 9, 10, 11, and then I made a good par save on the front nine. On number 4 I hit in the fairway bunker, had to lay up and hit a wedge close in, saved par, so I didn't mess up my streak, but it was good. I hit it close today, I hit a lot close and made the putts, so that was nice.” “Just get really good at six footers. It was tough. Front nine pins, they were pretty gettable. Back nine pins, it was just defense all day. It didn't matter where I put myself. Honestly, I was trying to attack it at different angles. I'm happy with my ball striking. I don't know what else I could have done, I really don't,” said Korda. American Lindsey Weaver sits in solo fourth at -3 after a second-round 68. Five players, including 2013 and 2015 VOA Classic champion Inbee Park, Rolex Ranking No. 1 Jin Young Ko, major champion Angela Stanford, 2020 Rolex First-Time Winner Madelene Sagstrom and Pornanong Phatlum are tied for fifth. Four players round out the top 10 at –1 including Texas resident and #LPGAMom, Brittany Lang. 77 players made the cut at +8. Mirim Lee and Cristie Kerr both withdrew due to injury. ANNA NORDQVIST MAY BE FROM SWEDEN, BUT “THERE’S A REASON” WHY SHE MOVED TO ARIZONA Making her first LPGA appearance since the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in early October, Anna Nordqvist finds herself tied for first at -4, well-rested from traveling back home and taking some time off. “I felt like I needed a little bit of a break. Went back to Sweden for a while after KPMG just to see my family, and I'm so glad I did because all the timing of it with all the COVID spread keep increasing over there, so I'm glad I got to see everyone. I hadn't seen them since Christmas and I don't know when I'm going to see them next,” said Nordqvist. Though she rested, she also competed on the Ladies European Tour, making a pit stop in Saudi Arabia for the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF and the The Saudi Ladies Team International before coming back to the states. “Missed Georgia when I went home and then I went down to Saudi Arabia to play a couple weeks ago and it was such a cool experience. Played in Dubai before and Qatar, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I know they're making a huge push for ladies golf down there, so it was really cool to be part of history,” said Nordqvist. “It was like 95 and blowing quite a bit, but I prefer that over this cold.” Maybe it was growing up in the cold, but the eight-time LPGA Tour champion said she now prefers the heat. “Obviously I grew up playing in cold conditions, me and all the guys at the club, Torshälla, used to play like every Saturday and Sunday. I just haven't done it for so long and I've been in the sun for so long, so I'm not really used to the cold anymore and my body doesn't do very well with it any longer. Just definitely have to try to manage it a little bit better than I have in the last couple years. Obviously live in the sun in Arizona and there's a reason why,” said Nordqvist. NOH BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS AT VOA CLASSIC Yealimi Noh may be a 2020 LPGA Tour rookie, but the 19-year-old is holding her own against the field at the Volunteers of America Classic. Noh, who has only missed one cut in 2020 through 13 events, is tied for the lead among impressive Tour veterans - two-time major champion Anna Nordqvist and five-time Tour winner Jessica Korda. It’s her first time leading/co-leading after 36-holes, but not her first time in contention; in 2019, Noh recorded two top-six finishes including a runner-up performance at the Cambia Portland Classic while a non-member on the LPGA Tour. Her highest finish this year? A tie for third back in Portland this past September. “It's been a while since I've been in the lead, so just thinking back on those times is really helpful and just playing my game out there it's always just sticking to your routine and playing your game. So hopefully it goes well [this weekend],” said Noh, who carded eight birdies over the past two days at Old American Golf Club. “Just being able to play under that pressure and especially play with some really great players. Not being too intimidated and just playing my own game right beside them is really helpful.” Noh said she’s feeling confident in her play as of late and likes how receptive the greens have been of late in The Colony, Texas. She said her main key though is competing against these chillier conditions. “Just staying warm for sure,” said Noh. “Today was really nice but we don't know what's up for the next day and tomorrow so staying warm and getting relaxed and hoping to hit more greens and make some putts.” WEAVER IN CONTENTION CLOSE TO NEW HOME WITH FAMILIAR FACE ON THE BAG IN THE COLONY Lindsey Weaver has fallen in love with the Dallas community. She and her fiancé Zach Wright moved to the area “on a whim” after visiting last year. Six months later, they bought a house together, the same one she’ll be going back to tonight after a second-round 68 at the Volunteers of America Classic just 30 minutes away from The Colony, Texas. “It's great to be here. I love living in a big city. It's so easy to travel in and out of. I was telling him last week it's like I leave on Monday morning and I come back on Sunday night that's two extra nights in my bed. Just can't put a price on that,” said Weaver, who also calls Old American Golf Club her home course. “And just being able to sleep in my own bed. It's kind of weird, kind of feels like a normal day, like we have the two dogs at home, kind of business as usual and just come out going to the golf course, but it's like we're playing in a tournament. We're here this week. So it's a little weird and it's kind of different, but good so far.” Weaver, who sits in a tie for second one stroke off the lead at -3, has Wright on the bag this week. It’s the first time the Korn Ferry Tour player has caddied for his partner since the 2020 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, and Weaver gives him a passing grade. “He's doing very well. He's a 10. If I said anything else, he might not show up tomorrow,” joked the 27-year-old. Heading into the weekend, Weaver said she’s up for the challenge’s her home course may bring with 36 holes ahead of her. “I've just been hitting the ball pretty well, just kind of trying to hang in there and attack when you can and kind of just play safe when you can't really attack the pins because I mean this course is obviously playing very difficult,” said Weaver. “There's so many runoffs and the greens are really quick and very grainy so they can be difficult to read. So it's just about staying patient really.” Rolex Rankings No. 56 Anna Nordqvist (70-68) She hit ten of 13 fairways and 12 of 18 greens, with 27 putts Nordqvist’s 36-hole score of 138 is her best at Old American Golf Club in the VOA Classic; her previous best 36-score was 139 in 2018 Nordqvist is in her twelfth season on the LPGA Tour; she has eight victories, including the 2018 The Evian Championship This is Nordqvist’s 12th event of the 2020 LPGA Tour season; her best finish was second at Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G Six-time member of the European Solheim Cup team (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019) Two-time member of Team Sweden at the UL International Crown (2014, 2018) with a 5-2-1 overall record Rolex Rankings No. 27 Jessica Korda (69-69) Korda hit 10 of 13 fairways and 11 of 18 greens, with 27 putts Her 138 ties her best 36-hole score of the 2020 season since the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, where she T15 This is the first time Korda has held the 36-hole lead/co-lead since the 2018 LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship, where she finished in a tie for third Korda has held the 36-hole lead/co-lead six previous times; she has converted two of them into wins, at the 2018 Honda LPGA Thailand and the 2014 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic This is Korda’s 11th event of the 2020 season; her best finish is a tie for sixth at the Pelican Women’s Championship presented by DEX Imaging and Konica Minolta This is her 10th season on the LPGA Tour; she has recorded five wins in her career, most recently at the 2018 Honda LPGA Thailand She is a two-time member of the U.S. Solheim Cup team (2013, 2019), with an overall record of 4-2-2 Korda represented Team USA at the 2018 UL International Crown Finished runner-up at the 2010 LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament to earn her LPGA card for 2011 As an amateur, Korda was a member of the 2010 USA Curtis Cup team and 2009 USA Junior Solheim Cup teams, and won the 2010 South Atlantic Amateur Championship Rolex Rankings No. 61 Yealimi Noh (72-66) She hit 10 of 13 fairways and 14 of 18 greens, with 28 putts Noh’s 138 is her lowest 36-hole score since the 2020 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship; she recorded a 137 and finished T15 This is Noh’s 14th event of the 2020 LPGA Tour season; her highest finish is a T3 result at the Cambia Portland Classic This is her first appearance at the Volunteers of America Classic She holds the 36-hole lead for the first time in her career Noh is a 2020 LPGA Tour rookie; her best career finish is a second at the 2019 Cambia Portland Classic She finished third at the LPGA q-Series to earn status for the 2020 LPGA Tour season Noh turned professional in January 2019 after winning the 2018 Girl’s Junior PGA Championship, 2018 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship and 2019 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship in consecutive weeks SOCIAL MEDIA: - #DRIVEON Tournament: @VOATexasLPGA, #VOAClassic LPGA: @LPGA, @LPGAMedia (Twitter), @lpga_tour (Instagram) TV TIMES (all times Eastern on Golf Channel) Saturday, Dec. 5 – 5:30-8:30 p.m. (Tape Delayed) Sunday, Dec. 6 – 1-4 p.m. (Live) LIVE STREAMING TIMES (all times Eastern on the NBC Sports App and golfchannel.com) Saturday, Dec. 5 – 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6 – 1-4 p.m.
