Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1803875, member: 652"] A true minor league system will never happen because the major league will never want to fund it. Minor League baseball players are paid below the poverty. They make about 2100 dollars a month and get a 25 dollar a day stipend on the road. They get signing bonuses when they sign but if they don't do well with that they make no money till they make the major league. MLB teams are swimming in cash making 8 billion dollars a year and they won't throw another 2 million dollars per team to up the salaries for minor leaguers. Minor league baseball actually attracts attendance during the summer season and they don't pay. The NBA won't pay for a minor league system that w0uld incentivize kids not to go to college. [/QUOTE]
