Wizards-Padres extend affiliation
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — The Fort Wayne Wizards and San Diego Padres have reached an agreement on a new two-year player development contract through the 2010 season.

Padres vice president Grady Fuson called the new stadium and the renewed affiliation with the Midwest League team “a tremendous environment” for the players and staff.
Since becoming a minor league affiliate of the Padres in 1999, 34 Wizards players have reached the major leagues, including last year’s NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy.
