Earlier this week, Baseball America released a lengthy breakdown of a forthcoming proposal from Major League Baseball in conjunction with Minor League Baseball. It’s behind a paywall, but if you might still have a free story available if you don’t frequent Baseball America. And if you’re out of free stories, it’s worth a subscription anyway.
For those of you who can’t read it, it basically boils down to this: Major League Baseball is seeking to streamline Minor League Baseball. That includes trimming 42 teams from the league, upgrading facilities, reorganizing MiLB’s league structures, and even creating a “Dream League” for players who go undrafted and would otherwise be unlikely to make it to the majors any time soon.
