Major League Baseball has proposed a radical plan to restructure the Minor Leagues. The plan is to eliminate over 25% of minor league teams and shorten the draft to 20-25 rounds. In theory, this would consolidate talent, improve player pay, and improve minor league facilities/conditions. In reality, most minor league players are sold a dream of playing professional baseball, despite knowing they will likely never make it to the MLB. What does this mean for high school and college players overall? How will small towns that thrive on minor league baseball handle their team getting cut? All this (and more) on today's episode.
