MLB, minor leaguers reach first ever collective bargaining agreement; deal includes pay raises

MLB and minor-league baseball players who are members of the MLBPA reached a landmark collective bargaining agreement Wednesday, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported and sources confirmed to Yahoo Sports' Hannah Keyser.

The CBA is a first for minor leaguers, who have long campaigned for better protections, pay and treatment from baseball owners. The deal guarantees higher salaries across the minor leagues. Players at multiple levels of MiLB will see their salaries more than double at a minimum, and they will triple at the lowest level.

Pay changes

Complex League players will see their salaries increase from $4,800 to $19,800 annually.
