More on-field promotions typically occur at the minor league level than in the big leagues.

• A. Sometimes
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Not specified

Answer: (B)

In the minor leagues, teams use a development ladder where players are regularly moved up to higher levels as they prove they’re ready for tougher competition. This setup means on-field promotions happen frequently within the farm system—Class A to High-A, to Double-A, to Triple-A—within and across seasons as players advance. In contrast, promotions to the major leagues depend on roster needs, options, service time, and injuries, so they’re less frequent. Because of that structure, the statement is true: more on-field promotions typically occur at the minor league level than in the big leagues.
