MLB has a plan to eliminate 42 minor league teams. Like most ideas MLB has, this is a very bad plan. For example, MLB once thought the Marlins were a good idea. This is the Marlins of plans. Today, I'm joined by Minor League Baseball Senior Director of Communications Jeff Lantz to talk about this very frustrating issue.

Jeff and I discuss the minors' vital role in growing the game and creating new baseball fans. You know...the kind of thing that a baseball league SHOULD be embracing. Plus, my beloved Kenosha Twins get a shout-out (and a skypoint)! And Jeff has an amazing story about Kerry Wood's 20 strikeout game...
