The Phillies have revealed their planned minor-league affiliates starting in 2021.
The Philadelphia Phillies announced on Wednesday that they have invited four minor-league clubs to become their affiliates in Major League Baseball’s new player development structure, beginning in 2021 — the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Triple-A), Reading Fightin Phils (Double-A), Jersey Shore BlueClaws (High-A), and Clearwater Threshers (Low-A).
“We are happy to extend an invitation to these four affiliates who have each been a great partner to this organization for many years,” said Assistant General Manager Bryan Minniti.
