I hope that the minor leaguers win and I hope that those communities lost their minor league teams get them back.
Sadly it is more about economics and less about Anti Trust (especially since they still over over 120 affiliated with MLB) and that there are so many independent leagues with independent teams.
Sadly economics plays a big part and MLB determined that they do not need 160 clubs worth of players to field all the MLB teams. So they made the changes they deemed necessary.
And it is the right of the minor league teams to react as they do. Some Go the legal route others find ways to re-use/repurpose their stadiums, others try to align with another "independent league" and others fold.
So good for them for trying the Legal way and lets see how it plays out and hopefully those other communities get a team back.
