A report suggests that Major League Baseball is tweaking their limitation on domestic minor-league players in a way that should aid the SF Giants.
According to a report by Baseball America’s JJ Cooper (subscription required), Major League Baseball will be limiting teams to 180 domestic minor-league players in 2021 and beyond. The restriction would place some obvious limits on MLB teams, like the SF Giants, in their approaches to player development. A 180 player cap is actually an expansion of the league’s reported earlier intention to restrict teams to 150 domestic minor-league players.
