Minor League Realignment

Minors return with new look, structure

The names of the leagues have changed, as have many of the affiliates, but Minor League baseball is still coming to hundreds of communities across North America beginning this week. Major League Baseball announced a new plan for affiliated baseball, with 120 Minor League clubs officially...

Fewer teams and leagues. Rookies will play in Arizona and Florida.

Definitely a lot of changes going on here. I hate that 40+ cities lost affiliated baseball, but from a business point of view I can kinda understand the thought process here...

Yep, I read about this. Major changes but probably logical

Agreed. The Orioles lost a great affiliate in Frederick where the fans loved them. And I’m sure there’s others from other teams as well. It sucks, especially for all the players losing their jobs but I understand that from a business perspective, something had to be done.
