Baseball: Ending Monopoly, More Competition for Professional Teams.

This act subjects professional baseball leagues and teams to the same competition rules as most other businesses. This means they can no longer operate as a monopoly, potentially leading to more rivalry and better deals for fans and players. The changes only apply to future actions, not those that occurred previously.
Key points
Professional baseball teams and leagues will now be subject to antitrust laws, like other industries.
The goal is to increase competition in baseball, which may affect ticket prices, game accessibility, and player conditions.
The rules do not apply to actions that occurred before the act's enactment.
