The move is designed to \u201cbring parity and quell what until now has been an unchecked arms race.\u201d The league will now \u201capprove in-game data and technology vendors,\u201d a change that for many teams could mean \u201caccess to new information at the minor-league level.\u201d But for clubs \u201cthat have already made significant investments in technology they\u2019ve come to rely on,\u201d the rule change could result in the \u201cremoval of that same technology from their stadiums if it is not approved by the league.\u201d Critics assert that the new policy is an \u201canti-spending measure that will curb innovation, render some past investments useless, and set the sport on a path towards more stringent limits on front office spending.\u201d The goal of the new rule \u201cappears straightforward: give every team in the minors the same set of data and video, just as the league has done in the majors.\u201d That stands \u201cin contrast\u201d to the current system, which has \u201cled to disparity.\u201d There is also the question as to \u201cwhether the move will have a negative impact on the quality of data in the minors\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6879487\/2025\/12\/15\/mlb-technology-change-minor-leagues\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6879487\/2025\/12\/15\/mlb-technology-change-minor-leagues\/ \">THE ATHLETIC, 12\/15<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MLB will \u201cregulate the in-game technology available for use across all minor-league parks\u201d beginning next season, according to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,4034,591,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-350016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-baseball","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
