According to multiple agents representing minor league players, messaging went out Wednesday that there will not be a minor league season in 2020. Instead, Major League Baseball will expand rosters for a condensed big league season. There will, however, be a subsequent developmental league, training and potentially playing games out of spring training facilities.
According to two players associated with those agents, they expect to be playing baseball sooner rather than later.
“Expecting to report in the next three weeks,” one source said via text message. “We’re expecting the season to start in June.”
According to one agent, the news comes on the heels of the NBA opening some of their facilities.
