AP source: Minor leagues set to accept cut to 120 affiliates; future of Pioneer League’s Ogden, Orem teams unclear

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Spectators take in the game and views of the Wasatch Range as the sun sets on a Raptors baseball game at Lindquist Field in Ogden on Wed. July 25, 2018. A reported deal between Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball to reduce the overall number of minor league affiliates from 160 teams to 140 means the future is unclear for the Raptors, Orem Owlz and the rest of the short-season Pioneer League, which competes at the lowest rung of the sport.
