True enough. The current PBA mandates the majors support 160 minor league clubs (not counting the AZL and GCL, since the majors directly own and operate the clubs in those leagues).
In any case, visit BizofBaseball.com and head to its Documents section. There you will find a PDF of the 2008 Major League Rules freely available for download. That's where I got my copy.
(That site also has a number of other interesting files. A recommended stop on the internet for those interested in the business aspects of the sport, especially since it's possible the site may not be around much longer.)
