Though they failed to win the International League championship, the Norfolk Tides have been named the Team of the Year in the minor leagues this season by Baseball America magazine.
Criteria included the team's record, the number of major league prospects, how much the team dominated its league and how the club responded to losing players to the big leagues.
The Tides finished 86-56, tying a club record for victories in the regular season, and had 22 players spend time with the Mets. by CNB
