It's unfortunate. Underpaid players who hope for that chance to be in the majors. And with this virus, some teams might lose their minor league affiliates.
The hope to play soon is there and if things were to go back to normal, you could look see it come back in possibly June or July. For some teams, there's a lot at stake. They need those fans to come and get tickets, buy merchandise and food, and sit for a couple hours. It's a struggle to get good attendance. Some cities are able to handle it very well. There has been the talk of cutting minor league teams in certain places. That reality might happen, but not for the reasons you think.
What happens with cut teams if it were to happen? Some may not have that chance of the majors unless another team takes them in. The move to a higher or lower affiliate could improve or downgrade their abilities. A city may struggle a little bit financially from not having a baseball team anymore. A team may lose future talent that could make an impact. You have to hope that the virus isn't here for much longer.
Hopefully, things have slowed down to where cases aren't as frequent and recoveries can help make life normal once again.
