(CBS News- When Major League Baseball hosted its "Field of Dreams" game in Iowa in August, it was a celebration of small-town America. But less than 100 miles away, a small town is worrying that its local economy, that's centered around baseball, is getting shut out. Kris Van Cleave traveled to Caledonia, Minnesota, where a factory partially owned by MLB is closing up shop and shipping jobs overseas.


Comment:
So woke MLB is going to use Chinese slave labor for its equipment.
If the MLP Player’s union had a spine, they would tell MLB to keep the factory running or go on strike. Going onto playoffs, that would be devastating.

bastard America HATERS!!!!
Minnesota of all states--HAHHAHAHH getting fkd by the America haters--just like they are

 

[Mr Natural]

I thought St Trumpy fixed all that.

Guess not.

 

[shockedcanadian]

China is the future. There is no way around this anymore.

So many to blame for this shift.

That's a pretty lousy article. It took awhile to find a better one. This to me looks like a really bad attempt to draw concessions from the workers. For what MLB makes there is no excuse for this either way.

For those with no desire to read the article, these are not MLB bats made at this facility but still...............

Minnesota facility that makes softball bats, MLB helmets to close | Bemidji Pioneer

Mr Clean ..we should have protected America DECADES ago with tariffs/etc ....Japan used to not even let us export rice there--but they sold all kinds of stuff here....and Mr Trump was the first POTUS in a long time to try to turn the unfair crap around ..but the Dems fought him on that/etc

Kris Van Cleave traveled to Caledonia, Minnesota, where a factory partially owned by MLB is closing up shop and shipping jobs overseas.

Major League Baseball isn't doing anything. They own less than 20% of the parent company that owns Miken, which makes the batting helmets for MLB. Miken doesn't make bats for MLB at all.

Helmet manufacturing; that thing that Miken does currently do for MLB, will, remain here in the States (Mississippi).

Seidler Equity Partners has a far bigger say in what happens than MLB, which owns less than 20% of Rawlings.

So woke MLB is going to use Chinese slave labor for its equipment.

No MLB equipment is going to be made in China...

If the MLP Player’s union had a spine, they would tell MLB to keep the factory running or go on strike. Going onto playoffs, that would be devastating.

It's not up to MLB to keep the factory running. MLB doesn't have the ability to make that call...

Of course they do. They could decide to buy their helmets elsewhere if the company moves production......well they could if they didn't own a part of it.

And so it begin once again. Raising corporate tax rates and the shift begins.

They aren't woke, I can't even begin to understand how you connected that to this at all.

They are moving for money, plain and simple. They can spend less money and avoid taxes in a lot of ways. Americans don't want to work and keep demanding more money which will mean they have to pay more money, this they have to raise their prices which means more people have to spend more money, and the cycle goes on. And I don't blame them, they are trying to do what's best for their company financially.

I thought St Trumpy fixed all that.

Guess not.

He did and was, then Biden reversed everything trump did out of spite. Even if it meant undoing something good for the country.

So you can't blame trump on this one.

The helmet manufacturing is moving to Missouri...

And? They can still buy them off another manufacturer.

They could buy their equipment elsewhere.

That's what they're doing. The helmets are going to be manufactured in Missouri.

Players usually choose their bats, the most popular right now being Mizuno (Japan) and Louisville Slugger (US).

As an aside, Louisville Slugger actually offers a cool tour at their factory. Can't take pictures, though...

 

[Canon Shooter]

And? They can still buy them off another manufacturer.

I don't know why they would. MLB apparently has a contract with Miken for the helmets. The story says nothing about whether or not that contract has been canceled...

MLB and NFL are brainless woke drones.....no fixing that commie brainwashed mindset Dimmer.
