The deadline for changes to minor league affiliations is
Sunday, September 25.  Next week, MLB release its list of
affiliation changes for '95.  The SPORTS BUSINESS DAILY has
compiled a list of moves as of yesterday.  Teams have until
midnight Sunday to strike a deal.  Unaffiliated minor league
teams will be examined by Jimmie Lee Solomon, MLB's Dir of Minor
Leagues, in an effort to match them up with teams in need of
player development contracts (PDC).
     KEY:  R = Rookie League.  SA = Single-A, short season.

     NOTE:  Teams with the symbol (^) next to their name have
increased their ticket prices over last year.  "'93 AVG." is
based on the same number of home dates as the teams have had thus
far in '94.  "TIX $" is the team's average ticket price.  "TIX
REVENUE" is an approximated figure based on the increase/decrease
in attendance for the same number of home dates from '93.  The
+/- revenue figures take into account all new ticket prices.
