Colorado Rockies: Will Major League Baseball sever ties Minor League Baseball in 2021?

Relations between Minor League Baseball and Major League Baseball looks like they have taken a turn for the worst this weekend as Major League Baseball is threatening to sever ties with Minor League Baseball after this upcoming season.

As you likely know already, this all started because MLB wants to cut around 40 minor league teams for the 2021 season, including Colorado Rockies affiliates, Advanced-A Lancaster Jethawks, Rookie-affiliate Grand Junction Rockies, and the entire Pioneer League, which resides entirely in the Mountain Time Zone.

This latest spat started on Wednesday at the Winter Meetings.
