I did some rough math, 6 minor league teams in our system, probably about 150 players, I'm assuming we make them work about 60 hours a week for 7 months and about 20 for the other 5, and assuming we pay them roughly $6,000/year now...
I think we currently pay our minor leaguers about $1MM/year, and the cost to pay them minimum wage would be about $2.5MM/year. So there really isn't much at stake here.
If I was MLB, I'd just settle and make this bad PR nuisance go away. Just pay everyone 1 year of back wages, start paying $7.25 from now on, and move on.
