BREAKING: MLB and the MLBPA Have Agreed to a First-Ever CBA for Minor Leaguers

March 29, 2023, by Brett Taylor Chicago Cubs

Now this is a pretty cool bit of news to drop just before Major League Baseball opens its 2023 season.

The league and the MLB Players Association have come together on a first ever collective bargaining agreement for minor league players, whom you might recall have been folded into the MLBPA.

The full details on the CBA will come out in time, but Jeff Passan has the early scoop, including CONSIDERABLE raises for minor leaguers:

Details on pay increases in the minor leagues:

Complex league: From $4,800 per year to $19,800
Low-A: $11,000 to $26,200
High-A: $11,000 to $27,300
AA: $13,800 to $30,250
AAA: $17,500 to $35,800

Players will be paid almost year-round, aside from a six-week break in the winter.

More on this soon, I expect.
