Cubs plan to move Peoria Chiefs to Kane County

1

This would be good news I think. From the article: The Cubs are on the verge of moving some of their highest-profile Class A prospects closer to Chicago as soon as next season. Sources say the Cubs are in the process of working out a player development agreement with the Kane County Cougars in an effort to move their Midwest League affiliate from Peoria – putting those Class A players 120 miles closer to Chicago. The change would mean ending a relationship with the Peoria Chiefs that goes back nearly 30 years between a 10-year affiliation in the 1980s and early ‘90s and the current eight-year affiliation.
