It's a bombshell news day at Baseball America. J.J. Cooper joins Carlos Collazo on the podcast to discuss his story, which details MLBs proposal -- and we stress its still a proposal -- to dramatically change Minor League Baseball as we know it. The proposal includes eliminating more than 40 teams, reclassifying many others, moving the draft to August, increasing the salary of remaining players in the league, and so much more. J.J. explains it all and discusses what challenges await both MLB and MiLB as contentious PBA negotiations continue.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
