Weds/Thurs BP: MLB seeks to further cut back on the Minor Leagues

This is not going to be a long article. It is deserving of a long article, in which Rob Manfred and MLB are heavily criticized, but I’m, as the kids say, tired. I’ve written a lot of words about Rob Manfred and MLB’s upside-down shenanigans already, and besides, I’m at the point of the day where I stared idly at the New York Times Spelling Bee, with the only word I could find being “Uggla,” and now I’m staring idly at Dan Uggla’s Baseball-Reference page, reminiscing about what a journey that was.

Anyway, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeff Passan, MLB is proposing that in the next CBA, they be given the power to reduce the Domestic Reserve List — which puts a limit at how many Minor League players an organization can have — from 180 to 150.
