4 former MiLB affiliates file antitrust suit file against MLB for "contracting" minor league affiliates:
Several things in this article that I dont remember knowing before. It says that the SCOTUS seemingly wants to do away w the exemption but has been fearful of the consequences of the potential issue of "retroactive liability", which I wasnt aware before either. Supposedly, retroactive liability would not be an issue if Congress removed the exemption. There also was a "task force" formed in Congress, headed by Lori Trahan (D-Mass), who I'd never heard of, that was seeking to remove the exemption but then the pandemic hit and then Congress had bigger fish to fry.
Anyway, it will interesting to see if anything significant becomes of this. I think it unlikely, but I can still dream.
