One of the biggest issues surrounding the delay of the MLB season is how to handle the pay for the many minor league players during the break from baseball. Many players on the St. Louis Cardinals are millionaires who easily can survive a few months without a paycheck.
For minor leaguers, that isn’t the case.
During a normal season, minor leaguers get paid way less than most fans realize.
The new pay structure that is coming is an improvement, but still isn’t much to write home about, especially when the pay is strictly seasonal.
