The San Francisco Giants farm system consists of eight Minor League Baseball affiliates across the United States and in the Dominican Republic. Three teams are independently owned, while five—the San Jose Giants, two Arizona Complex League Giants squads, and two Dominican Summer League Giants squads—are owned by the major league club. The Giants have been affiliated with the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels of the Eastern League since 2010, making it the longest-running active affiliation in the organization among teams not owned by the Giants. Their newest affiliate is the Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League, which became the Giants' High-A club in 2021. The longest affiliation in team history was the 32-year relationship with the Triple-A Pacific Coast League's Phoenix Giants/Firebirds from 1966 to 1997. Geographically, San Francisco's closest domestic affiliate is the Single-A San Jose Giants of the California League, which is approximately 43 miles (69 km) away. San Francisco's furthest domestic affiliate is the Richmond Flying Squirrels, which is some 2,433 miles (3,916 km) away. (en)
