Good but also kind of sad.

It has been announced that salaries will be going up across the minor league systems but they still seem incredibly small. For example, the salaries in AAA will increase from $502/week to $700. And that is for approximately 22 weeks during the season. There is no pay prior to the start of the season, meaning no pay for training camp. It seems pretty low to me.

Whats even worse they dont receive free housing.
They have to find discounted apartments or host families who house them for free, or at very little cost

It really is brutal, especially for the lower ranked players. At least guys drafted in the earlier rounds get some signing bonus, but not the scrubs.

Do they get "per diems"? I don't think that is considered salary.

Braves promote and extend Alex Anthopoulos, extend manager Brian Snitker and his coaching staff


ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves today announced the organization has promoted Alex Anthopoulos to president, baseball operations and general manager, while extending the contracts of manager Brian Snitker and his coaching staff through the 2021 season.

The club also extended Anthopoulos’ contract through 2024. Anthopoulos will continue to report directly to Chairman Terry McGuirk.
“I am very pleased that Alex will be leading the Atlanta Braves’ baseball operations for years to come,” McGuirk said. “Since he joined the organization, Alex has continued the winning tradition that Braves fans have come to expect.”

Anthopoulos, 42, served as the club’s executive vice president, general manager after joining the organization on November 13, 2017. Prior to joining the Braves, Anthopoulos worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he served as vice president, baseball operations for two seasons.

Anthopoulos also spent six seasons as the Toronto Blue Jays’ general manager, which culminated in an American League East title in 2015 to snap Toronto’s 22-year postseason drought. Anthopoulos was selected as Sporting News’ MLB Executive of the Year that season. He originally joined Toronto following the 2003 season as a scouting coordinator and earned a promotion to vice president, baseball operations and assistant general manager in 2006 before taking over as GM on October 3, 2009.
