The Cardinals’ four full-season minor league affiliates are scheduled to open the season on May 4th, 2021. Yesterday, I covered the Palm Beach club, the Cards’ Low-A affiliate. In this piece, I will preview the Peoria Chiefs, now the Cards’ Class High-A Affiliate after being re-classified from Class A.
STRUCTURE
RE-CLASSIFICATION
I covered this issue in the Palm Beach piece, but Palm Beach and Peoria have switched classifications. The old Midwest League, in which the Cards’ Peoria affiliate used to play, has been switched from a Class A league to a High-A league.
