Minor League Baseball will accept MLB proposal that could cut more than 40 teams, report says

MiLB responded to the report saying no agreements have yet been reached

Minor League Baseball is prepared to accept a proposal from Major League Baseball which includes drastically cutting the number of affiliated minor-league teams, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports. The proposal is part of negotiations for a new Professional Baseball Agreement and the two sides are set to meet Wednesday.

Here's more from Cooper:

When MLB and MiLB negotiators convene on a teleconference on Wednesday, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations say MiLB will indicate that it agrees to 120 affiliated teams in a new PBA.

Such a concession by MiLB could be a clear step toward a deal. MiLB has now agreed to find ways to come to agreement on almost all of MLB's public demands. Now the open question is whether MLB will be willing to accept the concession as a foundation for a potential deal.
