LAKEWOOD, NJ - The BlueClaws will participate in Minor League Baseball's Copa de la Diversion program in 2019, it was announced by MiLB at the 2018 Promotional Seminar in Des Moines, Iowa.

The Copa de la Diversion program, or "Fun Cup," debuted in 2018 and connects MiLB teams across the country with their diverse local communities.

The BlueClaws will assume a new identity as part of the program at select games, beginning with the weekend of Friday, May 3rd through Sunday, May 5th. The club's Copa name, along with the logo and uniforms, will be unveiled for the first time in March.

"The initial 'Copa de la Diversión' results and overwhelmingly positive feedback suggest that our fans are embracing the passion and commitment our teams have poured into this transformative campaign," said Kurt Hunzeker, MiLB's Vice President of Marketing Strategy and Research.
