The Miami Marlins currently boast a multi-layered minor league system. The Wichita Wind Surge (Pacific Coast League, Triple-A), the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Southern League, Double-A), the Jupiter Hammerheads (Florida State League, High-A), the Clinton LumberKings (Midwest League, Single-A), the Batavia Muckdogs (New York-Penn League, Short-season-A), the GCL Marlins (Gulf Coast League, Rookie-level), and the DSL Marlins (Dominican Summer League (Rookie-level) comprise the seven-level organization, not counting the parent club. Proposed cuts would eliminate the Clinton LumberKings and the Batavia Muckdogs.
Rookie-level ball should remain unaffected, but 120 total teams translates to four teams for each of the 30 clubs above that level, and the Marlins only have three.
