The Milwaukee Brewers have announced a two-year player development contract extension with the Biloxi Shuckers. The new agreement ensures that the team’s Double-A affiliate will remain in Biloxi through the 2020 season.

"The Brewers and Shuckers have a great partnership and we are excited about this extension," said Brewers Farm Director Tom Flanagan. "MGM Park is one of the premier ballparks in all of Minor League Baseball and we look forward to playing there for years to come."

"We are extremely proud to announce the continuation of this partnership between the Brewers and Shuckers," said Shuckers President Ken Young. "We have developed a great relationship with the Brewers over the past two years and the impact of the players and coaches on the field and in the community has been tremendous."

Biloxi has been the home of the Brewers Double-A affiliate since the start of the 2015 season. The Shuckers have seen 19 members of the organization be named All-Stars in just two years. Last season, the team clinched a spot in the playoffs when they were crowned the Southern League South Division First-Half Champions. Biloxi made it to the Southern League Championship, but ultimately fell in the final game of a five-game series.
