The Los Angeles Angels farm system consists of six Minor League Baseball affiliates across the United States and in the Dominican Republic. Four teams are independently owned, while two—the Arizona Complex League Angels and Dominican Summer League Angels—are owned by the major league club.
Current Los Angeles Angels domestic minor league affiliate locations
The Angels have been affiliated with the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees of the Pacific Coast League since 2001, making it the longest-running active affiliation in the organization among teams not owned by the Angels. The longest affiliation in team history was the 25-year relationship with the Midwest League's Quad City Angels/Quad Cities River Bandits from 1963 to 1978 and 1985 to 1992. Their newest affiliate is the Tri-City Dust Devils of the Northwest League, which became the Angels' High-A club in 2021.
Geographically, Los Angeles' closest domestic affiliate is the Single-A Inland Empire 66ers of the California League, which are approximately 39 miles (63 km) away. Los Angeles' furthest domestic affiliate is the Double-A Rocket City Trash Pandas of the Southern League some 1,774 miles (2,855 km) away.

1961–1962
editMinor League Baseball operated with six classes (Triple-A, Double-A, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D) from 1961 to 1962.[2]

1963–1989
editPrior 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]

2021–present
editThe 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.[67] Low-A was reclassified as Single-A in 2022.[68]
