OKLAHOMA CITY -
Half a billion dollars in federal COVID-19 relief funds could soon be heading to minor league baseball teams as a bipartisan bill makes its way through the U.S. Senate. However, the Oklahoma City Dodgers could be left out.
The current draft of the Minor League Baseball Relief Act would exclude teams like the OKC Dodgers, because they are, in part, owned by a major-league team, the LA Dodgers.
However, the Oklahoma City organization president and general manager said the punch to the pocketbook has been all the same.
“In my 19th year in minor league baseball, we’re facing things that no one has faced before,” OKC Dodgers President and General Manager Michael Byrnes said.
