Current Milwaukee Brewers domestic minor league affiliate locations
The
Milwaukee Brewers
farm system
consists of seven
Minor League Baseball
affiliates across the
United States
and in the
Dominican Republic
. Four teams are owned by the major league club, while three?the
Nashville Sounds
,
Biloxi Shuckers
, and
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers
?are independently owned.
The Brewers have been affiliated with the
High-A
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers of the
Midwest League
since 2009, making it the longest-running active affiliation in the organization among teams not owned by the Brewers. The longest affiliation in franchise history was with the
Helena Gold Sox/Brewers
, who were the team's
Rookie
affiliate in the
Pioneer League
for 32 seasons from 1985 to 2018; they were not partnered with Milwaukee in 2001 and 2002. The longest continuous affiliation in team history was the 23-year relationship with the
Class A
Beloit Brewers/Snappers
of the Midwest League from 1982 to 2004. Their newest affiliate is the Nashville Sounds of the
International League
, which became the Brewers'
Triple-A
club in 2021; they were previously affiliated with Nashville from 2005 to 2014.
Geographically, Milwaukee's closest domestic affiliate is the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, which are approximately 90 miles (140 km) away. Milwaukee's furthest domestic affiliate is the
Arizona Complex League Brewers
of the Rookie
Arizona Complex League
some 1,462 miles (2,353 km) away.

1968?1989
[
edit
]
Prior to the 1963 season,
Major League Baseball
(MLB) initiated a reorganization of
Minor League Baseball
that resulted in a reduction from six classes to four (
Triple-A
,
Double-A
,
Class A
, and
Rookie
) in response to the general decline of the minors throughout the 1950s and early-1960s when leagues and teams folded due to shrinking attendance caused by baseball fans' preference for staying at home to watch MLB games on television. The only change made within the next 27 years was Class A being subdivided for the first time to form
Class A Short Season
in 1966.
[2]
1990?2020
[
edit
]
Minor League Baseball operated with six classes from 1990 to 2020. In 1990, the Class A level was subdivided for a second time with the creation of
Class A-Advanced
. The Rookie level consisted of domestic and foreign circuits.
[2]
The Brewers did not field a Class A Short Season team during this period.
[1]
2021?present
[
edit
]
The current structure of Minor League Baseball is the result of an overall contraction of the system beginning with the 2021 season. Class A was reduced to two levels:
High-A
and
Low-A
.
[80]
Low-A was reclassified as Single-A in 2022.
