Atlantic League Folds

The Independent Atlantic League is no more. There was a strange interaction between the two leagues, especially with well-established MLB players. They would sign one-year contracts with the Indy league and then that contract would get purchased by the MLB club. This led to far too many short contracts in the majors, which then made players retire before they generally would since the team was not bound to their contract in their late-30s.
