I imagine MLB players healthcare isn’t actually through the league or team, but the MLBPA.

But the MLBPA only represents the major league players. Did they also negotiate something for the minor league players, or did they do in this aspect as they seem to have done in all others, and ignore the interests of the minor league players altogether.
