Detroit Tigers News: Minor League Baseball Players get a raise

Major League Baseball is set to raise the minimum salary for minor league players in 2021 according to a memo obtained by the Associated Press on Friday. The wage increase is between 38% and 72%. This comes across the heels after Congress passed Save America’s Pastime Act, which allowed major-league teams to continue paying the practice of paying minor-league players below minimum wage in 2018. What was interesting about when the bill was passed was that it was thrown in the back of a spending bill that was passed, page 1,967 to be exact.
