How Much $$$ Are You Paid When Called Up to MLB 

HAHAHAHAHAHA good one!

Very funny C G!

By that logic Chris Davis would be the highest paid minor-league player, lol .

C G ouch

It'd be funny if it wasn't true...lifelong suffering O's fan

I got the feeling he still didn’t say it. That “it” had to do with what happens when women who are not professional athletes eat fast food all the time.

@@stt5v2002 I'm gonna say it. She got fat which is not a bad thing in my opinion.

I think that is basically the reality of their relative value.

Minor leagues - McDonalds, KFC, Burger King Major leagues - Go get a steak kid, you earned it.

no problem with it. Motivation to make it and stay there. This video also explains those player who went from good to signing a big contract to all of a sudden being scrubs or injury prone like carl pavano jacoby ellsbury etc.

The Toronto Blue Jays have announced that they will voluntarily pay their minor league players more money. There was a class action lawsuit by former players that went nowhere. The signing bonuses for high draft picks is huge. That should be calculated in the numbers. What's really unfair is that college student athletes make millions and millions of dollars for their colleges and get paid nothing. Even students on academic scholarship can get paid work on their campuses, but American colleges think their athletes should settle for the scholarship. Most of the degrees that they earn are worthless. A college athlete who doesn't get drafted by the NBA, NHL, MLB or NFL basically worked for three to four years for free and have nothing to show for it. There are a few exceptions. Some bright students who also excelled at sports and earned a degree that will enrich their lives and provide future employment opportunities, but for the vast majority the payoff with a big major league contract or signing bonus is the thing.

I prefer the 8 year old me who thought every single person who played an mlb game was a gazzilionaire.

Matt- "honey I bought some dinner" Wife- " you son of a bitch!"

Really? Do you know what Chic- fil_ A is charging these days.$$$😁

@@mikemcdonald9337 lololol unfortunately not, I'm Canadian - I think there's only 1 lol

Thanks!!!

So true he’s really humble and down to earth. Man must be an absolute beast at baseball to have played in the big leagues. Respect!

Believe or not 90 % of minor league don't make to MLB so it have to be really Hard to make it.. Altuve 2 league every year when he was in the minor league and People say he cheat 🤣 dude its a beast ..shorty its bearly 4 feet too and 100 pounds 🤣 and make to MLB..foe me there its nobody like Altuve in the MLB.period.

@Magnet Shakur what is semi pro

Ohtani makes $3M/yr this year, and $8M/yr next year ...

You need to subtract the luxury tax. So from 340 mil, tatis will see around 200 mil.

@@blickcocker that's still a lot man lmao, but uh I got a question, is the luxury tax before or after all the government taxes?

@@CarlosCastro94360 yeap after all the taxes federal, state and county tax he will get around 200 millions which its a lot of money..the same when you win the power ball ..let say you win 300 millions after all the taxes you will end up getting around 160 millions ...yeap thats how its work.

And….all that money is guaranteed. MLB and NBA contracts are bad ass. You can sign, play a month and retire and get all that money (unless they have a clause in the contract.)

i think i'm gonna be sick.

Carlos Matos imagine trout

Verlander is a baseball God!

And Sandy Koufax had cumulative lifetime earnings of around $400,000!

Magnet Shakur one player can’t carry a team though.

I watched dodgers at diamondbacks spent $64 for four beers

Christopher gallegos don't feel sorry for them.....

Mlb manager: Colon here's $300 you pig

It adds up!

That is what the 1994 strike was about

And that is just for 1 day, usually they are on 5-10 day road trips so that's 500-1000 dollars total just for food

This is my favorite comment ever

They get the food per diem for home games too. I’ve covered MLB and witnessed it - handed a wad of cash by a clubhouse attendant as soon as they walk in the door.

My brother works for an airline Years ago he found Scott brosius meal money envelope that said something like 2000 dollars on it for the road trip For some I just picture Brosius taking the cash out and throwing it in the air like a 3 year old

@@tommyfu9271 Scotty had some huge clutch hits for the Yankees.

davmets86 weird I agree but you could eat decently well for $140 a week for just yourself

@@alexs3030 You might have missed the part that they only get that "extra meal money" on road trips... so about half the season.

That’s crazy. Baseball is huge business in Phoenix. It’s a hot bed.

555k

Respectfully disagree. You factor in taxes on Fed, Cali level with an agent ? Maybe half .

@@peterwieser4631 is right, here's what happens to that signing bonus: Fed Income tax 35%, FICA 6%, CA state 12%, and an agent 10-15% = 63-68% leaves ~$500K - $580K.

My buddy knows Frankie Catalanato. I was surprised when I looked up how much he made over his career!

Great stuff thanks for posting

I didn’t realize people in China watch baseball. Cool.👍
