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.

I had no idea. I always just assumed they got around 25-30K a year, even in the low levels.

Ouch, in my opinion they deserve more than that, even if they are playing baseball. Some of these guys didn't even go to college, right? Or are only the best prospects drafted straight out of HS?

Nelson Cruz to the Orioles, 1/8MM. Thats got to sting. Thats 2 players now who declined a QO and later had to sign a 1 year deal for less.

The Orioles might be a good fit for Santana, they are now giving up both their 1st and 2nd round picks, and I don't think they have anything else left to lose.

How many of them make the bigs though. Even most triple A players don't make it. And we have even started talking about the lower levels.

I'm a big believer in Manaea. They were confident the hip labrum issue could be easily dealt with before they drafted him, and we'll see this year if they're right. If they were, I think he's a top 25 guy on all the lists next year. (Remember, this is the kid that most thought was the No. 1 overall pick before the 2013 college season started).

They offered Gray a lot of money. Something just north of $1 million, if I recall correctly. Yankees drafted him the next year and couldn't get him signed, either.

I'm a big fan of McCullough. Much less of the cranky old man factor we saw with Dutton.

The silence is deafening. If someone went rogue we would have heard something by now, and his comment about not talking because its an ongoing investigation was silly. Its not your investigation Amaro, you can talk.

I don't want to overstate the fallout though, agents are still going to deal with them for free agents and college seniors, and obviously once they draft someone, the kid has to talk to them the agent just has to be very careful.

However, if I'm an agent, and my client is a high schooler or college junior who is still wrestling with the decision to go to school or not and he's not 100% sure he wants to go pro yet, there is no way in hell I let the Phillies get anywhere near him before the draft. Thats going to hurt their ability to figure out who is signable. It would be different if several teams started snitching on their players but right now its just the Phillies. The other 29 teams are willing to cooperate, so to hell with 'em.

edit: the Phillies just released a tersely-worded statement that managed to say nothing but the obvious. I read the statement as, "yeah we did it, so what? don't like it? Bite me!" The reaction from the media is pretty brutal, CBS called the Phillies "a pretty pitiful organization top to bottom"

In other news, the O's just inked Nelson Cruz to a one year, 8 million dollar deal.

@Ken_Rosenthal Santana would rather sit out until after draft than accept deal similar to Cruz’s. Comp pick disappears.


Probably a bluff, but gamble if he does it. I'd fire his agent if it were me.
