Beginning next week, baseball fans in El Paso, Texas will once again be able to see players move from their town to the major leagues. The El Paso Chihuahuas, San Diego's AAA affiliate will begin representing the city on April 3. During the 2014 season, it is likely that a handful of Chihuahuas will get promoted and become Padres.
