As we long have expected, news dropped on Tuesday that the 2020 Minor League Baseball season will not take place, leaving many Yankees prospects in the lurch.
Unlike MLB action (which will be constantly threatened by the pandemic in the ensuing weeks, too), MiLB teams had no method to subsist without fans in the stands, and once their gate receipts were destined to be null and void, there was no point in completing the campaign.
Well, except for that little insignificant detail called…player development. Some Yankees prospects on the verge of big league success have now been doomed to the 60-man pool in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, while others still won’t be doing much of anything.
