What’s Rob reading this week?
“Dueling Letters Highlight Dramatic Differences Between MLB, MiLB On Elimination”
By J.J. Cooper, Baseball America
“When Baseball America first explained in detail Major League Baseball’s proposal to dramatically change the shape of Minor League Baseball, one underlying question from people in that industry kept popping up: Are these guys for real? MLB’s proposal was significant. It would completely rework the minor leagues in a way that hasn’t been done in roughly a half a century, if not more. Cities that have had affiliated Minor League Baseball for a century would see their teams eliminated. What everyone in MiLB wanted to know was: Was the proposal a dramatic initial negotiating ploy or was it a serious proposal?”
