The last time Worcester, Mass. had affiliated Minor League baseball was in 1934. No doubt, its proximity to Boston — and the Red Sox’ territorial rights — kept prospective teams away. Now, though, the Red Sox are following the lead of teams like the Astros, Twins, Rangers and Yankees in pulling their Double-A or Triple-A affiliates closer to the big-league club.
