The Albuquerque Isotopes are now affiliated with the Colorado Rockies. Officials from both teams signed a four-year player development agreement during a news conference in Albuquerque on Wednesday. The officials say the new relationship makes sense for geographic reasons and because Albuquerque feels like an extension of home for the major league team. The Rockies Triple-A affiliate was previously located in Colorado Springs. The Triple-A Isotopes had been affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers since 2008.
