The Revolution open the postseason at home against the Somerset Patriots, hosting Game 1 of the Freedom Division Series at 7:07 p.m. Tuesday.
Game 2 and 3 -- if needed -- will be played at Somerset's Commerce Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater, N.J.
Here's a look ahead at the series:
York's ownership group Opening Day Partners suddenly appears to be the leading candidate to move into the Richmond market.
ODP chairman Peter Kirk released plans for a new 8,500-seat, $40-million ballpark in Richmond to Ballpark Digest. Kirk told the Web site an Atlantic League team could play at the city's out-dated stadium -- The Diamond -- as soon as next year while the franchise waits for a new park to be constructed.
The Atlanta Braves Triple-A club will leave Richmond at the end of the season and move into a new ballpark in suburban Atlanta. The Diamond was built in 1985, but a minor league stadium has been at that Richmond location since 1954.
The Atlantic League has officially entered the rotisserie phase of its schedule. Every team in the league is looking for help. The contenders need one more arm or bat, and all the other teams are looking for healthy bodies to fill in for injured players. It's that time of year, player procurement directors are dialing up the phone numbers of every independent league in the country.
That's the nice aspect about playing a 140-game schedule. Most short-season indy leagues have completed their season.
Revolution Director of Baseball Operations Adam Gladstone reached out to two of his Somerset connections, acquiring outfielder Edgard Clemente from the Nashua Pride and shortstop George Sandel (pictured above) from the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs.
York acquired both players for future considerations.
In order to make room for the two new players, York sent infielder Sam Rosario back to the Pride to complete a trade from earlier this season -- when York acquired Rosario for future considerations.
