List of Chicago Cubs minor league affiliates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chicago Cubs farm system consists of seven Minor League Baseball affiliates across the United States and in the Dominican Republic. Four teams are independently owned, while three—the Arizona Complex League Cubs and two Dominican Summer League Cubs squads—are owned by the major league club.
The Cubs have been affiliated with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs of the International League since 1981, making it the longest-running affiliation in the organization among teams not owned by the Cubs. Their newest affiliates are the High-A South Bend Cubs of the Midwest League and the Single-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the Carolina League, which became Cubs affiliates in 2015.
Geographically, Chicago's closest domestic affiliate is the South Bend Cubs, which are approximately 75 miles (121 km) away. Chicago's furthest domestic affiliate is the Rookie Arizona Complex League Cubs, which are some 1,437 miles (2,313 km) away.
