I can understand the 65K, thats not that much. But 400K is and will be enough to live off of for quite some time to come. Raising that due to “cost of living” is a bit ridiculous.

“Minimum salaries at the major and minor league level increase regularly to account for the cost of living, but do not decrease, even if the cost of living drops.”
I’m going to guess this will change at the next CBA.
That’s not even factoring in their $76 per diems and free lodging/travel expenses.

I now see why that one day of service time is so important to a lot of these guys. Minor Leaguers without it make around 1/10 of those who do have it. Major League salaries have gone through the roof in the last 20 years while Minor League salaries have remained constant over the same time.
