The process of forming a minor league union is expected to take some time, but at least one hurdle is expected to be cleared in relatively quick order. Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred on Friday told reporters the league plans to voluntarily recognize the minor league union.
Manfred noted the plans while at a press conference for the new rules agreed to by the competition committee on Friday, including a pitch clock, defensive shift restrictions, and larger bases.
The MLB Players Association formally began a push on August 28 to get minor league players to unionize, under the umbrella of the MLBPA. On Tuesday, with well over half of minor league players authorizing the formation of a union, the players association asked for formal recognition from the league.
