Also here is the article I used to make the sheet. The article list tells which teams are moving from where to where and which minor leagues teams are changing affiliations.

Teams now all have 4 minor league teams and they are still keeping their GCL, AZL, and DSL teams...I believe

I don't know how I feel about this yet...as far as real-life goes. Obviously, there will be fewer people playing "professional baseball" because there will be fewer minor league teams from now on. Plus, I hate seeing teams relocating. In the Yankees case, my favorite team, this is actually better since it now keeps AAA, AA & High-A physically closer to the Bronx. Their low-A will be in Tampa still at their training complex.

One thing I'm bummed about is the loss of Short-Season A. Part of me doesn't care that much because talent-wise, SSA and Low-A aren't miles apart...but, Short-Season A often gave young players a chance to tighten up their skills rather than getting cut because the organizations don't think they'll be able to make the jump from Rookie ball to Low A. Fewer minor league teams mean fewer available roster spots which mean taking fewer chances on young kids.
