Minor Leaguers Set to be Cuts due to Setbacks
Importance of Minor League Baseball
What is the best part of being a Baseball fan in the United States? It’s the fact that it’s so accessible to every American across the country. You see, minor league teams are like essential vibes of towns such as Reading, Trenton, and the Lehigh Valley.
Growing up near the Trenton Thunder was fun since players like Jeter, Cano, and Rivera would stop by for their rehab games. It was an excellent asthenosphere for a town that won’t see a big-league team anytime soon. However, what would happen if the Baseball commissioner decided that these teams don’t truly matter for the game. The MLB is looking into decreasing the number of MiLB players to save some money regarding the lockout.
It wasnt long ago that the MLB and MiLB were in long-suited arguments about the living wages of players who were paid pennies compared to their MLB counterparts. Minor Leaguers won that battle last year when they were finally given free housing as a player. While these players make just about the poverty line average, the top 20 most valuable teams in the MiLB are worth 37.4 Million. So what is the situation and problem where these owners can afford to keep their players
The problem is the poorly run office of the MLB commissioner. It noted that Manfred is showing his faults as the MLB lockout still ravages throughout the days. Pitchers and Catchers were set to go to spring training today, except they are now waiting on when they can even return to their own locker rooms.
This is a massive problem for baseball as we can not let these teams screw over the fans anymore. It’s the same old story every week because it’s the only one that should be focused on. The MLB needs to be massively reformed inside and out to create a league worth watching. Time will come when the fans of the game grows tired of the mismanagement, and its coming rather quickly.
