From Twitter:
In theory I knew that minor-leaguers did not make an awful lot of money, but I did not know how startlingly low this number was. Let's put this into context:
*Unless you are Jon Singleton, you will make $2,200 per month to play Triple-A baseball in Fresno. This works out to be $550/week.
*Double-A players make $450/week.
*High-A players make $375/week.
*Low-A players make $325/week.
And they have to provide their own lodging during the season. And feed themselves a couple of times a day. And this is all they make from baseball during the entire year.
