Minors Seek End to Optional Agreement to Aid Profits
Worcester Post reports minor league owners push to scrap the optional agreement, arguing the rule robs small clubs of revenue from selling promising players to majors. They say big league clubs outbid and poach talent, leaving minors as a dumping ground while training young players at little cost. If minors could repurchase players or require big leaguers to buy back at a small premium, they’d gain stability and funds to recover from lean seasons.
