Dear Giants, Be Better: Pay The Minor Leaguers More

Dear Farhan Zaidi and the Giants Ownership Group,

Be better than the rest of baseball once again.

This week, the Toronto Blue Jays announced they were going to give their minor leaguers a pay increase of around than 50%. That’s good, but that’s still a ridiculously low amount of money.

• For Triple-A, that takes a base yearly salary from about $11,825 previously to $15,250 now.

• Double-A’s goes from about $9,350 to $12,750.

• Single-A goes from a base range of $6,050 to $8,400 up to $12,600.*

Minor league players are not paid for Spring Training.
