Bill Madden: Baseball's only coronavirus certainty is the destruction of the minor leagues

5. Selfish and shortsighted in the extreme.

You kill the minors, you've knocked big part of the foundation out from under your cash cow. The impact might take a couple of years to be felt in full, but it will be bad news in the end. It's about the game. You need the farm team/minor league experience to give a lot of the players coming up some time to develop before hitting the bigs. Bean counters are forgetting that without a good game with good players, you don't make the money. Not smart.
