The minor league baseball season is underway and that’s as good a reason as any to review the four Cubs minor league affiliates. Since the Iowa Cubs season is already underway, we’re going to start with the Triple-A affiliate in Des Moines.
Most of the players on the Iowa Cubs are players you are likely already familiar with, as they’ve either played in the majors for the Cubs (or other teams) or you’ve seen them in Spring Training. There are also a few top prospects that you may have heard of playing in Des Moines this spring. So consider this a refresher course on the I-Cubs, as they are colloquially known.
