According to a report from J.J. Cooper of Baseball America, MLB is expected to agree to a 25-percent reduction of the number of affiliated teams, from 160 down to 120. The plan would eliminate short-season and rookie leagues across the country. It is the same contraction that was suggested last year.
The overhaul of the minor league system would have the short-season, and Rookie games played at spring training facilities. The remaining 120 MLB teams would be reorganized into four full-season levels that are familiar to most fans: Triple-A, Double-A, High A and Low A.
