A collection of former and current players have formed an advocacy group asking that Major League Baseball roughly double salaries in the minors to $15,000 per season. The Major League Baseball Players Association represents only those on 40-man rosters, leaving roughly 100 or more players per franchise without representation. Minor league hockey players have their own union, and an effort is underway to organize NBA G League players. Yeah, I think that would be a great situation for minor league players," Broshuis said. While the case has not yet gone to trial, Congress passed legislation stripping minor league players from protection under federal minimum wage laws.
