I notice no one is mentioning the baseball America article. The guys there are much better at getting the details that ESPN will.miss. The naming is not set in stone. A number of the leagues are prepared to hand their rights to the names over to MLB so the names still are open to changing. Just a lot of moving parts still place.

League names will also not necessarily carry over to the new system, although some leagues have offered to convey their marks and brands to MLB. For now, MLB has been referring to the leagues by geographic designations. It is Triple-A East and Triple-A West, not the Pacific Coast League and the International League.

This is a quote from the baseball America article.
They also have details on quite a few smaller interesting things that come up in the changing of minor leagues.
