History

edit

The team first came into existence in 1989 as an independent Royals affiliate.[3] The following year, they shared an affiliation with the New York Mets.[4] In 1991, the team shared an affiliation with the Chicago Cubs,[5] and an affiliation with the Colorado Rockies was added in 1992.[6] While the Cubs were dropped in 1993, the team would continue its joint affiliation with the Rockies until 1996. In 1997, it once again became an independent affiliate of the Royals. In 2018, the Kansas City Royals were ranked the top educational program among all 30 MLB teams and their respective programs in the Dominican Republic, as voted by MLB.
