2021 swb railriders 2021 swb railriders triple-a information On February 12, 2021, Major League Baseball announced its new plan for affiliated baseball, with 120 Minor League clubs officially agreeing to join the new Professional Development League (PDL). In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St. Louis Cardinals) t St. Paul (Minnesota Twins) Worcester (Boston Red Sox) Nashville (Milwaukee Brewers) Toledo (Detroit Tigers) Norfolk (Baltimore Orioles) east west w Albuquerque (Colorado ROckies) Las Vegas (Oakland A's) El Paso (San Diego Padres) Reno (Arizona Diamondbacks) e Oklahoma City (Los Angeles Dodgers) Sacramento (San Francisco Giants) s Round Rock (Texas Rangers) Salt Lake (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) t Sugar Land (Houston Astros) Tacoma (Seattle Mariners) 46 | 2021 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders Media Guide | Triple-A, New York Yankees | www.swbrailriders.com | triple-a east northeast division BUFFALO BISONS SAHLEN FIELD One James D.
