Report: Mets to be new Buffalo Bisons affiliate

The Buffalo Bisons' chance to become the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets looks favorable but has yet to be confirmed.

The New York Daily News is reporting that the Mets expect to sign a deal with the Bisons rather then the Syracuse Chiefs after they leave New Orleans. The deal is said to take place sometime later this week and to be announced in a news conference in Buffalo next Monday.

According to the Daily News, the Mets are looking to get an equity stake in the Syracuse team. If that were to fall through, Buffalo would be their selection.
