They get to sign... they will make 30k to start off.
I signed for 1000 my senior year after being drafted and my salaries went as followed:
850/month
1000/month -Low A
1200/month High A
1500/month AA
2100/month AAA
Minor league FA was 6000/mo AA and 8000/mo AAA
We were only paid during the season (5 months)
We had off season jobs
We had 1 or 2 days off each month
We had 3-4 game series not 6 today
We stayed away from the training room
Players today have no idea how good they have it
