Atlantic League CEO Frank Boulton, who is also listed as an ownership partner with the Bees, would only say he “was not involved with the team’s day-to-day operations,” and directed the Herald to the Bees’ primary owner, Anthony Iacovone, and business partner Michael Pfaff. Stewart connected with the Atlantic League following the Rock Cats’ departure to bring the Bees to New Britain Stadium, but Stewart also talked with representatives from the Canadian-American Baseball League and the Futures League, which could each become possible destinations for the Bees if their time in the Atlantic League is over. “While our league affiliation has changed, one thing will not – our commitment to providing Central Connecticut the best entertainment value and most affordable way to spend their discretionary dollar.”. The front office reached out to the Atlantic League toward the end of the 2019 season, as the Bees were battling for a postseason spot, and let the league know of their intentions to move on to the FCBL, according to Smith. We continue to look, but over the last three years, I've probably made, conservatively, eighteen to two dozen community visits. But Smith said the Bees would like to stay.

"As you know, we have a chance to renew it every five years, but we want to be here," Smith said. The team was replaced by the New Britain Bees for the 2016 season. The New Britain Bees is the city's newest team from the Atlantic League after a long history with the New Britain Rock Cats (1995-2014). [6] The Sugar Land Skeeters began play in 2012. The last installment of that ballclub, which was used as a placeholder between the Bridgeport Bluefish folding after the 2017 season and the High Point Rockers joining prior to this year, was a comically bad 29-97 on the field and presents numerous logistical challenges off of it from both travel and financial standpoints.It also further affects the perception of a league that has made strides with the Major League Baseball partnership, but may lose some of that perceived credibility with the return of a road team. We will be releasing a schedule soon and look forward to another great year.”, When asked if that would be as part of the Atlantic League or with another league, Pfaff said, “as soon as we have anything further of substance, we will let you know.”. "The irony is that Texas is such a high-growth state, you would think it would be simple to find a community that wanted an Atlantic League team," White said.
