What Does This All Mean and Where Do We Go From Here?

Abstract: Abstract While Major League Baseball teams seem to be moving generally towards affiliating with minor league teams that are closer in proximity, there is still considerable room for improvement. Any remaining gains to be made in regionalization will likely require the Commissioner’s Office in Major League Baseball to coordinate the necessary moves. A deeper understanding of how proximity impacts player development, regional brand awareness, and minor league game day attendance is needed. A unified goal of maximizing attendance at all levels of affiliated professional baseball requires central planning. This chapter provides some suggestions to direct future research in this field of study.
