How One Little Trip to Japan Could Change Major League Baseball

In one of the most famous sci-fi scenes in cinematic history, Morpheus asked Neo to decide between a blue pill and a red pill. He offered the truth and an awakening of sorts, the ability to see what the world truly was and how it functioned.

While the decision recently made by Carter Stewart may not change the course of post-apocalyptic dystopia, he very well may go down as “the One” in terms of changing the way Major League Baseball drafts and compensates players. It may also help to change matrices when it comes to salary, eventually morphing into a totally different way of compensating minor leaguers.
