Baseball has billionaire owners Multi million dollar players I believe avg salary is 4.4 million But minor leaguers the future of the game are treated like they’re playing in a 3rd world country Embarrassing

Pay the MiLB players a living wage. They must pay rent (live with other players), pay club house fees, pay for food (the team only gives the 1-2 meals, if they’re lucky on game days), ... Their pay is well below the poverty level! And owners make millions/billions and FB of games, merch, ticket sales....

I’ve always supported Minor League teams. They have great family atmosphere, play great meaningful baseball, and all at an affordable price. Players deserve a reasonable living wage.

The fact that these ballplayers are used to fuel a billion dollar industry while many seeing almost no financial compensation of note is deplorable in this day and age. Frankly, even 15,000 isn't enough

As a more than a baseball fan and having a degree in Labor Relations from the University of Puerto Rico, I have been advocating for better wages for minor leaguers for a long time. Learning about this has been great news for me.

I believe in fair pay; we are below the poverty line as professionals in our respective fields

This needs to happen. We work too hard to get underpaid!

I love minor league baseball. The players that make it happen deserve a wage they can live on. $15k is just a start.

It’s ridiculous that these players get paid less than minimum wage. Owners are holding them hostage to their dreams of becoming major leaguers.

Minor league players shouldn’t have to depend on host families and part time jobs cleaning snow off of cars at dealerships in order to survive. Pay them a livable wage!

My son is one of these players. He is in the Baltimore Orioles organization.
