For a game that’s noted for its vast use of statistics, these ones aren’t proudly displayed on MLB.com, MiLB.com, or Baseball Savant:
$10,500 — The yearly minimum salary for Single-A baseball players and they only get paychecks during the season (salary data from Sporting News).
$12,600 — The yearly minimum salary for Double-A baseball players and they only get paychecks during the season.
$14,700 — The yearly minimum salary for Triple-A baseball players and they only get paychecks during the season.
38-72% — The rate that those figures above increased in 2021 compared to where they were in previous seasons (not including the COVID-erased 2020 season)
40 — Minor League teams that were cut after the 2020 season to save money that could go toward increased player salaries and improved facilities in an effort to “modernize” MiLB.
