As Major League Baseball enters the postseason, the sport itself is entering uncharted waters. For the first time since 1993, there is no Professional Baseball Agreement between the MLB and it's Minor League Affiliates. However, that hasn't stopped Commissioner Rob Manfred from moving forward on his vision for MLB to control much of the sport of baseball in America.

This week on Caught Listening, Christian Heimall is joined by Baseball America's Executive Editor, JJ Cooper, to discuss Manfred's goal of "One Baseball", a system that can see MLB direct much of how the sport operates from the professional level all the way down to Little League. From announcements regarding professional Partner Leagues to the reasoning behind this movement, and even how the sport of softball could be impacted; Christian and JJ dive in to what could be the future of America's favorite pastime.

JJ also discusses the two separate paths baseball could be on should this vision become reality and whether or not it is good for the future of the sport.
