The Houston Astros have a deal in place with the Sugar Land Skeeters organization that will make the Skeeters their new Triple-A affiliate, Eyewitness News confirmed.

The Skeeters told Community Impact Newspaper on Nov. 17 that the organization is not yet commenting on this developing story.

This summer, Skeeters announced the formation of the Constellation Energy League, which kicked off in July while the rest of the minor league was shut down due to the pandemic.

Several players were signed out of that league onto major league rosters.
