When looking at this gorgeously convenient Wikipedia supplied map of the MLB minor league landscape, some gaps jump out.

To me, it’s Colorado Springs and Boise. I’d like the Wyoming Truckers in Cheyenne. Baseball back in Montana would be very un-sad.
The triangle side of Boise to Colorado Springs is the better part of 900 miles. The Colorado Springs to Billings side, which runs through Cheyenne is about 620 mi.
Places like Boise and Billings are covered thanks to the independent Pioneer League, but even still that organization is an MLB partner, like a side piece. But honestly, it’s good that pro players have a place to land. With the official minor league draw-drawn (contraction), I’m curious if more dudes will opt for college ball.
What do you think?
