The business model, made literal
Baseball 365, MacStrength Grizzlies, Minnetonka Monarchs, Northwest Orioles, Plymouth Hitdawg.
Baseball 365 names an indoor training facility. MacStrength names a strength and conditioning gym. Hitdawg makes bats. All three have put their name on a Class A roster.
That is a different arrangement from a sponsor buying a shirt: the business is the club's organizing principle, and the players are presumably its customers or its staff.
No roster is published for any of the five.
Rosters on High Cheese update as people sign and follow a player between clubs and seasons.
