List of Philadelphia Phillies minor league affiliates

The Philadelphia Phillies farm system consists of seven Minor League Baseball affiliates across the United States and in the Dominican Republic. Five teams are owned by the major league club, while two—the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Jersey Shore BlueClaws—are independently owned.

History
On April 14, 1934, the Phillies entered into their first affiliation agreement with the New York–Penn League Hazleton Mountaineers. The Phillies have been affiliated with the High-A Jersey Shore BlueClaws of the South Atlantic League since 2001, making it the longest-running active affiliation in the organization among teams not owned by the Phillies. Their newest affiliate is the Lehigh Valley IronPigs of the International League, which became the Phillies' Triple-A club in 2008. ==Geography==
