How much do y’all think Blake Trahan’s yearly salary is in triple A?

[Dad04]

20 g may be generous in rookie or low A ball.

$1300 for Low A $1500 at High A, a month during the season, only. You pay clubhouse dues out of that.

How much do y'all think Blake Trahan's yearly salary is in triple A?

For AAA, the monthly salary is $2150 per month and it goes up to $2400 the second year and $2700 the third year.

A player must be placed on the team’s 40-man roster or be subject to the Rule 5 Draft at the end of his fourth season (if signed at age 19 or higher) or fifth season (if signed at age 18 or lower).

Holy Shat!!! A minimum wage job at walmart pays same, maybe more

Baseball has an exemption from federal min. wage laws.

Baseball is considered a "hobby" by federal guidelines... although there is a class action law suite out there,, no one expects it to go anywhere.

[laf1049]

Players only get paid during the season-- not even during spring training. So they are looking at getting paid about 4 months of the year. They typically pay room and board- around $300 a month - in the lower leagues the team may own a hotel or apartments.. otherwise they stay with a host family. They have to pay for their own meals. Its not hard to do the math and see that there is very little left during the month- but also little time to spend it anyway.

Nope.
