Could the owners theoretically populate their rosters with Minor League players in the event of a player strike?
Call me out if this is a stupid question as I'm not the most informed on how this stuff works. There is a chance that this lockout turns into a strike that could last up to and past the start date for opening day. If that we're the case, would there be anything stopping the owners from saying "f*** it" and having players from the minor league rosters promoted into the roles of the striking players? The only thing I would think would stop this would be minor league options and service time, but since there is no current agreement in place, that would make it null and void right? As far as I know, the current situation doesn't have any effect on Minor League play, but I'm not sure if that matters or not.
I'm not saying this is what I want to happen or what I think would happen (It would be a complete shit show if it did) just an interesting thought.
