The Seattle Mariners have signed a two-year working agreement with the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx of the Southern League to be the organization's Double-A affiliate. The Mariners had been affiliated with the San Antonio Missions of the Texas League since 2001.

This is the second parent club in the Diamond Jaxx's nine-year history. Previously, the team was affiliated with the Chicago Cubs.

"The Diamond Jaxx are excited to become a part of the Seattle Mariners family and look forward to seeing first-hand their commitment to developing future Major Leaguers from around the world right here in Jackson," said Diamond Jaxx general manager Jeff Parker.

"We are very excited to bring our players to West Tennessee," said Frank Mattox, the Director of Player Development for the Mariners. "We look forward to bringing a championship back to Pringles Park in the near future."
