What are the unintended consequences if the lawsuit is won?

For the record, I'm just rambling off the top of my head. Here are some possible scenarios...

1. MLB will not want to afford higher minor league salaries, forcing the teams to incur some of the expense. As a result, owners pull out of ownership. Fewer minor league affiliates overall - thus leading to...

2. The draft is further reduced in rounds. Maybe down to 25

3. More reliance on college ball, free agent signings, and the Indy leagues as a feeder system, and fewer short A teams

4. Where do the Rookie League teams go: the Caribbean, Argentina, Venezuela, etc...

Again, just rambling.
