It's already been this way for so long that I'm sure many owners and even the players themselves just accept it as part of the game. Think about how many times a minor leaguer gets called up and their minor league struggles are embraced as being part of their journey, as if it has to be that way. 

It won't change until MLB puts strict restrictions against it. 

it wont change until MLBPA demands it.

I wanted to say that this was a bit harsh but then I read it again and realized he said Yermin eats hamburgers and now I'm thinking that if Yermin specifically eats hamburgers instead of cheeseburgers then yes we have a problem and yes Yermin deserved to be demoted and should probably be further punished for not preferring cheese on his burgers. Fuck that guy.

Maybe he drinks a tall glass of milk with his burger, would that suffice?

Correct.  Only counts if beef. 
 

milk with that soy stuff is a no go or do what you want. 
 

milk with meat is always a good idea no matter the time of day.  
 

I had two tall glasses this morning myself.

We will see what happens with minor leaguers with this new CBA.

Its a big issue, its become better with some organizations, but there are a lot where they truly dont give a fuck, dont care, just let the kids figure it out on their own.

We know the A's are one.

We know the Angels are one.

 

Supposedly the Indians take care of their kids fairly well.

I bet the Rays do as well.

 

I'd say its probably 50/50, maybe 60/40 taking care of players industry wide.

Which is wrong.   The way owners treat minor leaguers is pathetic, sad and a joke.  More should be exposed.

The point of consolidating the minor leagues was to kinda of avoid shit like this.  

Fuck these owners doing this. 

 

I'm in Columbus right now and actually just went to a Columbus Clippers game (Cleveland's Triple-A team), and while I can't comment on other aspects of the AAA team and how players are treated, they do have a really nice home park.
