As we start October, the Professional Baseball Agreement between Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball expired on September 30 without any new agreement.

“Major League Baseball will field at least 160 Minor League teams. This guarantee is formalized through Player Development Contracts (PDCs), the two or four-year agreements that bind Major League teams and Minor League affiliates.
