Source: City of Wichita September 06, 2018 15:15 ET Mayor Longwell: Triple-A Team from New Orleans Seeking to Relocate to Wichita Wichita, Sept. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The New Orleans Baby Cakes, of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League, have filed a Relocation Application with Minor League Baseball seeking to relocate the club to Wichita. The Relocation Application must be approved by Minor League Baseball and the Pacific Coast League, and reviewed by the Baseball Office of the Commissioner, before the Club can relocate. The New Orleans Baby Cakes are currently affiliated with the Major League Miami Marlins. “Triple-A baseball is coming to Wichita because of who we are today and because of who we aspire to be tomorrow,” said Mayor Jeff Longwell. “We’ve worked tirelessly on this deal. It’s not just about another great quality of life amenity, or baseball: this is about investing in our city and continuing to make Wichita a regional destination.” An official decision from Minor League Baseball and the Pacific Coast League is expected later this year. Wichita has not had an affiliated team since the Double-A affiliated Wichita Wranglers left the city in 2006. Lawrence Dumont Stadium is slated to be torn down within a year, and a new stadium to be built on the site using STAR bonds, which capture sales tax revenue in a development area and funnel it to project costs. The attraction of affiliated baseball was identified in 2016 by Mayor Longwell as a crucial component of his quality of life initiative to rejuvenate the Arkansas River corridor with signature amenities as part of the City’s strategic effort to retain existing and attract new employee talent for Wichita’s businesses.

Formerly known as the New Orleans Zephyrs, the team held a “name-the-team” contest in 2016, rebranding as the Baby Cakes moving forward.

Based In: Employee Previous Count: Provider: Louisiana 90-100 LIFE BEFORE NETCHEX Before the New Orleans Baby Cakes made the switch to Netchex in 2017, they were processing their payroll fully in-house. In addition, they were utilizing Paychex to track and manage their time and attendance, which means the ability to integrate the two separated systems was non-existent. The amount of wasted time they were spending dealing with manual, error-prone processes and sitting on the phone with unresponsive Paychex support teams had them looking for a single-source solution that combined all of their payroll and HR solutions into one integrated system - and they hit a grand slam with Netchex. ☑ Payroll + Tax ☑ Time & Attendance ☑ Employee Self-Service ☑ NetRecruiter ☑ Manager Self-Service ☑ E-Verify ☑ NetGuide ☑ ACA Central Netchex Services: ☑ NetInsight WHY WE WERE (AND ARE) THE BEST SOLUTION Netchex’s time and attendance platform lets the New Orleans Baby Cakes manage their employees easily and effectively.
