9th Cir.;
15-16938

The court of appeals affirmed a judgment. The court held that federal antitrust law does not apply to minor league baseball.

Minor League baseball players Sergio Miranda and others filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, former Commissioner Allan Selig, and Major League Baseball's thirty franchises, alleging that MLB's hiring and employment policies have violated federal antitrust laws by “restraining horizontal competition between and among” the MLB franchises and “artificially and illegally depressing” minor league salaries.
