Yeah, the St. Paul and Sugar Land thing is --- well, I don't think it can be confirmed or denied at all; however it's ACCEPTED by most as Part of the Proposed Plan we haven't seen all the details of.

The core of this is FACILITIES. The MLB teams want their prospects to be in facilities that have top notch amenities for player development. I saw a list one of the business of MiLB websites did on every MLB teams' affiliate facility grades. They had a "player development" category. If you sort the levels of MILB by that grade, you'll see a through-line trend. The teams at 4 or below are in serious danger. The teams with a grade far below the rest of their level also happen to be the ones rumored to be dropping down.
