The long wait of no minor league baseball is about to finally come to a close. It’s been almost 20 months since the 2019 MiLB season came to a close, and holy hell, has a lot happened in the world since then. The entire 2020 campaign was wiped out due to the coronavirus, and minor league teams are still recovering from the lasting effects of a lost season.
The governance behind MiLB has changed too, as MLB now simply runs the show rather than working in tandem. The league is trying out different rules at different levels, so that will be something to watch in 2021.
