The Chicago White Sox are going to lose minor league teams in the near future, as J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reported that MLB and MiLB are expected to reach an agreement to disband 40 minor league teams from the game.
That means the overall number of minor league teams is expected to dwindle from 160 down to 120, reducing the amount of minors teams by 25%.
While this is expected to largely impact lower-level minor league affiliates such as those below High-A, this still a terrible problem to have.
This goes along with a plan to reduce the number of rounds in the MLB Draft for the 2020 and 2021 drafts.
