In 2019, minor league players will make on average (Pretax amount) between
$6,100 (Single A) and $14,850 (Triple-A) for the season.
The federally recognized poverty line for a single-person household in 2019?
$14,380.
Chew on that.
小聯盟薪資的透明度始終不如大聯盟
而根據這份資料
1A的球員平均"整季"會賺到6100美元,大約19萬台幣
以球季5個月(4,5,6,7,8)來計算,相當月薪4萬不到
3A球員平均"整季"會賺到14850美元,大約45萬台幣
換算成月薪也只有9萬
而聯邦政府規定的貧窮線是年收14350美元...
雖然有簽約金可以燒
但對某些中南美洲
拿低簽約金加盟的球員來說
真是血汗至極...
