Things are back on track to get an MLB season underway and players included on 60-man rosters are reporting to camp on Wednesday. However, the unfortunate, though not unexpected, news came through on June 30 that there will be no 2020 MiLB season. It’s a massive bummer for fans who follow prospects and most enjoy the minor league action, but it could also be a career altering choice for a countless number of players throughout the league.
Loss of playing time isn’t the death knell of every career, but it’s one big reason why major surgeries are so dreaded.
