The best AAA veterans who aren't good enough to break into MLB can top out at roughly $60K or so. A few guys might get a bit more than that. Thats the ceiling, single-A rookies usually get about $5,000. AA players might get $6-7K. They usually need either a spouse/girlfriend who works, or they sometimes live with families who agree to put them up for the season.
