Minor League Season Officially Canceled
4 years agoBaseball's minor leagues officially canceled their 2020 season on Tuesday after MLB decided not to provide any players to its affiliated teams during the coronavirus pandemic. An agreement between the majors and minors expires after this season, and MLB has proposed reducing the minimum affiliates from 160 to 120. MLB clubs will retain expanded 60-player pools for the upcoming season, of which 30 players can be active during the first two weeks of the season, starting in late July. National Association president Pat O'Connor said of the minors' situation amid COVID-19: "We are in dire straits."
