Minor league baseball teams are professional baseball organizations that serve as a developmental system for Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. These teams provide young players with the opportunity to gain experience and improve their skills before potentially moving up to the major leagues. Minor league teams are often affiliated with MLB teams, meaning they are connected to a specific major league franchise. The minor league system is divided into several levels, including Triple-A, Double-A, and Single-A, each representing different stages of player development. Minor league games are typically more affordable and family-friendly, making them popular among local communities. Teams often have unique names and mascots, contributing to a fun and engaging atmosphere for fans.
