NEW YORK — Major League Baseball will attempt to feature top prospects during a spring training event from March 14-17 called “Spring Breakout.”
Each big league organization is to field a team of 20-25 prospects from all levels in seven-inning games.

The games, announced Wednesday, will include whatever experimental rules used in the minor leagues.
