There were going to be major changes this season in minor league ball when the deep thinkers inside the commissioner’s office in New York decided to cut 42 minor-league teams.

And the landscape worsened for minor leaguers in mid-March when the Coronavirus (COVID-19) hit and play was suspended.

Unfortunately, the news, in recent weeks, has not been good for several Canadians, Californians, Texans or Floridians.
