Changes To Help Baseball Proposed by Legal Mind
New York constitutional lawyer Frederic A. Johnson proposes federal legislation to reform baseball while preserving the reserve clause. The plan would abolish the farm system over time, cap contracts at 40 players per team with 25 in the majors and 15 in the minors, and grant pension rights to all under contract. Johnson envisions partial player funding by clubs and league-wide salaries, potentially creating three or four major leagues.
