CBA Negotiations

Mlb feels like they're living in another planet.  

Nothing about the NBA "requiring" 1 year of NCAA has helped either the NBA or NCAA.  Going to a year or two of college is not going to help anything, just deferring mlb giving kids money to colleges giving kids money.

Any comparison between the NBA and MLB as far as not even comparing apples and oranges.  A typical NBA franchise will pay around 15 players on the main roster.  G-League players are paid as part of a Developmental league, but not by the Bucks for example.  There are 2 two-way contracts that the Bucks pay for.

The Brewers have 8 affiliates, or minor-league teams.  So, the total number of players throughout the Brewers organization is ~190.

Using Copilot as my guide...

A typical minor‑league roster size:

• AAA: 28–30 players
• AA: 28–30 players
• A+ : 30 players
• A: 30 players
• Rookie/DSL/ACL teams: 35–40 players each

Estimated total minor‑league players paid by Brewers:

• AAA: ~30
• AA: ~30
• A+: ~30
• A: ~30
• DSL1: ~35
• DSL2: ~35
• ACL Gold: ~35
• ACL Blue: ~35

From a business standpoint, it seems to make sense to try and cut down on the minor-league structure.  Especially if the NCAA is willing to absorb the costs through *cough* NIL *cough*.

To reiterate, we won't see any baseball team at the University of Wisconsin.  Sad, sad, sad.

It’s control. Currently, if a high school player gets drafted but doesn’t like the slot money or the organization; he can tell the team he’s going to honor his college commitment and re-enter the draft the next year. 
 

The new CBA would eliminate that loophole by making college a prerequisite to being drafted
