As I’m sure most of you are aware of at this point, the minor league season has been officially canceled for 2020. The official word came a couple of weeks ago now, and really everyone basically knew that this was coming for months at this point. The majors can get by without fans because most of their money comes from TV anyway. The minors, which aren’t all owned by their major-league affiliate and thus don’t all get the necessary financial support to survive without fans, just aren’t tenable in this environment.
The effects of this lost season down on the farm are going to be felt for years and have a lasting impact on the state of the sport.
