BREAKING: Yesterday, Minor League baseball players received their first paychecks since October 2021.

After going all winter and Spring Training without pay, here’s what they finally received:

And the 1st to do it while wearing a #FairBall wristband to support Minor Leaguers.

Have a postseason, Chris!

MLB requiring minor league housing (per ESPN) doesn't happen without multiple guys going on the record, along with more than 20 others who were brave enough to speak out this summer, to The Athletic.

Next up: pay them year round.

MLB owners are worth billions of dollars, but minor league baseball players make just $7/hour, many sleep on the floor in crowded apartments, and they're denied adequate meals.

@Lovegrove19 told us his story.

[Baseball SA @BaseballRSA]

Really proud of @BaseballRSA’s own @Lovegrove19 for having the guts to speak out, knowing it was likely to cost him his shot.

@MiLBAdvocates Shoutout to our own @Lovegrove19 for speaking out. It may cost him a roster spot next year but this was bigger that one person.

MLB has issued the same tone-deaf statement three times since early August when confronted about the gross mistreatment of Minor Leaguers.

The thrust: get off our back, we’re working on it.

Beyond being arrogant, it’s simply untrue.

This could be fixed overnight. #FairBall

If you like baseball, especially minor league baseball, take 5 minutes out of your day and learn what the common experience is for most minor leaguers.

Former CLE minor leaguer Kieran Lovegrove has been brave enough to speak out about pay, food, living conditions and more.

[L.A. Times Sports @latimessports]

Since then, the Angels have started provided a pregame meal for all of its minor league players.

And last weekend Lovegrove sat down with the Angels GM and director of player personnel for what he described as “overwhelmingly positive dialogue.”
