Because of the changes to Minor League Baseball, the Phillies will field just 4 professional teams this year: The Triple-A Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, the Double-A Reading Fightin Phils, the High-A Jersey Shore BlueClaws, and the Low-A Clearwater Threshers.
The Williamsport Crosscutters are no longer affiliated with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Rosters for the teams were announced on Monday. Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting assignments for the Phillies’ minor leaguers.
