It's only to a degree. At Triple-A, the highest minor league level, the typical monthly wage is $2,150 a month. That's not a lot of money, especially when you consider... That the minor league season is only about five months long. Minor leaguers aren't paid outside of the season, even though... They report to spring training, participate in various workout programs and do other such things that require them to commit time to their baseball careers. They do these things without pay.
