Law360 (May 24, 2021, 10:03 PM EDT) – Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros told a New York state judge Monday that they had the legal right to cut minor league clubs after an affiliate agreement with Minor League Baseball expired last year, urging the court to toss lawsuits by a pair of New York-based minor league clubs that say Major League Baseball and big league teams reneged on deals to keep their major league affiliations.
