The Cardinals’ four full-season minor league affiliates are scheduled to open the season on May 4th, 2021. On Saturday, I covered Low-A Palm Beach. On Sunday, I gave a treatment of High-A Peoria. Today, I continue the series with the AA Springfield Cardinals.
STRUCTURE
NEW LEAGUE IS DOUBLE-A CENTRAL (NORTH DIVISION)
The old Texas League was a 8-team league. Instead of losing clubs like the leagues of the affiliates of the lower classifications, instead we have a couple of additions affiliation switches. The name of the new league is the Double-A Central, and is it now a 10-team league.
