Major League Baseball owners to pay for minor league players housing

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Housing -- or lack thereof -- has been a hotly debated topic recently and has been subject to rightful criticism near and far for what teams provide or what they don't to Minor League Baseball players.

In September, that narrative began to change as Major League Baseball owners voted unanimously in September to “begin providing housing to certain minor league players,” according to a statement then released by MLB.

On Thursday, it was announced MLB teams will be picking up all of the tabs for the housing of their minor leaguers beginning with the 2022 season.
