ESPN | Jeff Passan: Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out that MLB’s Saturday offer to the MLBPA was even worse than it initially seemed. The league apparently asked for flexibility to cut the number of minor league jobs (the Domestic Reserve List) from 180 to as few as 150 as soon as next year. It’s pretty brazen given that it really doesn’t save teams all that much money and they already culled the minor leagues of 42 teams after 2020. Anyway, the MLBPA is planning on rejecting that offer anyway, as they’ll reportedly to do with any that will cut minor league jobs.
