The Texas AirHogs is an independent minor league baseball team based in Texas. They play in the American Association. The team is a temporary team combining the Grand Prairie AirHogs and the Amarillo Thunderheads for the 2016 season.

History

On November 19, 2015, American Association commissioner Miles Wolff announced that there would no longer be interleague play between the AA and the Can-Am League (for which he is also commissioner) and that for the 2016 season the Amarillo Thunderheads and the Grand Prairie AirHogs would operate as a joint team with 25 games in Amarillo and 25 games in Grand Prairie to make a 12 team league, while the AA searches for a 14th team to replace the Rockford Aviators, who were forced to fold following the 2015 season.[1] On November 27, 2015 James Frisbie was named the team's manager.[2]
