In an article for The Athletic, Emily Waldon tries to put a human face upon the harsh lives that minor league ballplayers lead as they try to achieve their major league dreams.

Everyone that Waldon spoke to requested anonymity. She quotes several players about why no one is speaking up about this unconscionable situation.
