The affiliated minor league season will be officially cancelled for 2020

Minor League Baseball will announce today that the 2020 season will be officially cancelled, according to a report from Baseball America. According to Evan Dreilich at The Athletic, the season is being cancelled for a number of reasons, including teams not having the resources to provide player safety, teams not having media revenues to make up for a lack of revenues from gate attendance, and a lack of players since MLB has suspended its working agreement with the minors, leaving minor league clubs to get their own players.

The cancellation of the season is likely to be a devastating blow to many minor league teams.
