MLB Players’ Association takes ‘historic’ step toward unionizing minor-league baseball players

The MLB Players’ Association took a step toward unionizing minor-league baseball players Sunday night, sending minor leaguers an authorization card allowing them to vote for an election that could make them MLBPA members. ESPN first reported the news. More than 5,000 minor-league players are under contract with MLB teams during the season.
