Major League Baseball is looking into introducing a significant increase in salaries for minor league players, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported on Monday.
According to Passan, MLB officials suggested raising pay for minor league players during an initial collective-bargaining meeting with the group that oversees the minors. MLB also suggested a higher standard of living conditions and better transportation.
The suggestions come after years of criticism and lawsuits regarding minor league pay. The Toronto Blue Jays are already reportedly in the process of finalizing a pay increase of more than 50% for all players rostered on their affiliated minor league clubs.
