For better or worse, one league purpose is developing players for the major leagues. These pages look at the relationship between the MWL's teams and their major league affiliates.

These pages display each major league team's relationship with the league and the league's teams. Here's a summary of each franchise's participation in the Midwest League and its predecessors.
