Minor League Baseball To Continue
After an agreement was announced on Monday, Nov. 30, it appears that Montana’s minor league baseball fans can continue cheering on their teams.
Beginning in 2021, the Pioneer League including the Billings Mustangs, Missoula PaddleHeads and Great Falls Voyagers will be designated as a “partner league” with Major League Baseball. All of Montana’s teams will maintain their existing team names and brands and will collaborate with MLB on operating expenses, marketing, ticketing and fan engagement opportunities. They will also have a procedure in place with opportunities for players to transfer to MLB clubs.
“Professional baseball in Montana helps bring our communities together and drive our local economies,” U.S. Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., said.
