The New York Yankees might end their 28-year affiliation with the Columbus Clippers and align with another Triple-A team.

The International League team said Friday the Yankees have informed them of their intentions. "While we have enjoyed working with the New York Yankees, we also understand that baseball is a business and the Yankees have every right to explore new relationships that may be better suited for the goals of their organization," Ken Schnacke, president and general manager of the Clippers, said in a statement.
