MLB's Rob Manfred Says He Rejects Idea Minor Leaguers Aren't 'Paid a Living Wage'

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred responded Tuesday to critics of the minor league wage scale, which has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years.

"I kind of reject the premise of the question, that minor league players are not paid a living wage," Manfred told reporters.

On Monday, the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary wrote a letter to Manfred regarding MLB's antitrust exemption, which was granted by the Supreme Court 100 years ago May 29.
