Summary

In this episode, the show returns after a long hiatus. We were wanting to do a show that previewed each minor league roster leading up to the season, but sadly Mother Nature had other plans and we haven’t had much to talk about on the minor league side. However, things have changed and Matt and Eric got together to talk about the state of minor league baseball, or lack thereof, in 2020, the Braves’ decision to extend payment to minor leaguers for the month of June, the team’s subsequent decision to then cut a whole bunch of minor leaguers, what we see happening going forward.
