Unless you’re big on the minutia of how baseball leagues work, this one might have slipped under your radar. However, it carries some pretty serious ramifications for us Padres fans, and MLB fans in general. Baseball America recently published a story regarding the on-going negotiations for a new Professional Baseball Agreement (PBA) between Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball.

I’ll try to break this down to the key implications, but seriously, give the article a read; it’s well worth your time.
