The Minor League season One effect of the pandemic was that the Minor League season was wiped out completely, as each team instead ran its own alternate training site in order to maintain a ready supply of roster replacements and provide hands-on instruction to some prized prospects.
The start of the Minor League season was again delayed in , due to safety reasons, with MLB clubs once again operating alternate training sites to keep roster replacements ready. However, a restructured, streamlined version of the Minors finally got underway on May 4.
It's worth noting that things do look a bit different in the Minors in , after MLB announced that each level will be a testing ground for rule changes. Since the abolition of the reserve clause player salaries have leapt, and the current restriction on free-agency is only by agreement between team owners and the Players' Union..
The most common way a team can improve its roster during the season is via a trade, in which the rights to one or more players are traded to another team for the rights to one or more of their players and sometimes for cash.
This becomes particularly frantic as the "Trading Deadline" approaches at the end of July. A very common occurrence at the Trading Deadline is for a struggling team to "trade for prospects". With two thirds of the season gone, if a team isn't in the playoff race, then it may trade one or more of its "star players" who will probably be ageing, possibly heading for free agency, and possibly overpaid to a "contender" in exchange for "prospects" younger players, often at AA or AAA level who won't be useful now, but may be in a year or two.
They'll probably be cheaper as well - "salary dumping" is often a priority for a struggling team! The Trading Deadline is one of the key times of the season.
A contender has to decide whether to mortgage some of the future to add one or two key players now, whilst a struggling team get the chance to accelerate their building for the future. For a team on the margins of a playoff race they have big decisions to make - do they go for it or play safe?
A veteran with more than ten years experience in the Major Leagues will normally have a "no-trade" clause in his contract, allowing him to veto such trades, though quite commonly he'll "waive" it given the trade is probably moving him to a more successful club with a chance of playing in the post-season.
