Wait - the Spinners are leaving the Sox?
They'd have to if the Red Sox purchase Batavia for relocation to Pawtucket. They're both Short Season A and in the same League to boot. No way they could both be affiliated with Boston.
While you'll VERY occasionally have an MLB team with two affiliates at the same short season level (KC, for instance, has two Advanced Rookie affiliates - the Burlington Royals of the Appalachian League and the Idaho Falls Chukars of the Pioneer League. The White Sox also used to have two Advanced Rookie affiliates before they left Bristol, TN) I can't think offhand of a time when a team's had two affiliates in the same league, aside from complex-based rookie leagues like the Gulf Coast League, Arizona League, or Dominican Summer League.
