Yes, the Hawaii Islanders played in the PCL (AAA) from 1961 to 1987:

They moved to Las Vegas after the 1987 season. They were affiliated with San Diego for a lot of that time which makes somewhat sense but then after that they were paired with teams like Pittsburgh and Chicago White Sox which doomed them. Your prospects would be so jet lagged and it would take forever to get them, it's crazy how they were able to manage. Not to mention the wear and tear on their travel schedule.
