DCMB: Right, my point about legacy payments was simply that businesses are always looking for ways to lower costs, not that this point specifically applied to MiLB umps.

Other pro sports hire top level officials from the independent contractor/assignor system. They use HS, college, and other leagues to develop their officials for them. MLB could do the same, using a handful of evaluators to find the best.

The "umpire development" model might have become too expensive to keep.
