Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is becoming minor league baseball’s loudest voice in the room and unlikely champion as he tries to find a remedy to a restructuring plan Major League Baseball (MLB) has of cutting affiliations with 42 minor league teams. MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: MARIJUANA WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED A BANNED SUBSTANCEThe 2020 Democratic presidential candidate says it’s all about corporate greed. “If the National Association [of Minor League Clubs] has an interest in an agreement with Major League Baseball, it must address the very significant issues with the current system at the bargaining table," MLB said in a statement. Minor league players have no bargaining union and sometimes don’t even make minimum wage. Sanders also was responsible for bringing a minor league team to his constituents in Burlington, Vt.: The Vermont Lake Monsters.
