MLB clubs on the other hand have every incentive to develop kids and promote them through the minors as quickly as possible.
Yea but if the kid didn’t sign for $500,000+ they get about a year or two to put up or shut up and then get kicked to the curb like an old recliner.
Then they’re all of a sudden 20 years old, unemployed, girlfriend left them, and they’re a freshman with no eligibility left.

Whether or not a MLB team would invest in a “blue blood” program like LSU or a lesser known program (who needs more NIL $$$) would make it interesting.
I think LSU would be in good shape with the big travelling fan base.

Nah, it has more to do with the proposed salary cap system. That being said, with more college players I can see doing away with rookie or A ball. It’s also less risk overall for ball clubs. Get more accurate scouting evals against top competition. Thats a big reason why NBA did away with HS draft players and more recently G-league. As for how it helps college teams idk. Obviously signing a A-rod or Bryce Harper would be tits tho.

I think the opposite. Yes some teams will be really good but it will come down to development and so much talent spread around.

Coaches salaries will ramp up, at least for programs who care. A track record of sending guys to the Show will become more important. Top pitching coaches are really going to demand a lot of $$

I don’t want to start another topic or try to make this SEC related, so:
Would the legal minds of this august site explain the Antitrust exemption that MLB holds?
Thanks! I’ll hang up & listen
