MLB team owners agree to provide housing for some minor-leaguers in 2022
This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Major League Baseball says its owners have agreed to begin providing housing to certain minor-league players beginning in the 2022 season.
ESPN, citing anonymous sources, first reported Sunday on the owners’ decision, saying the league would require major-league teams to provide housing either via stipends to fully cover rent or by arranging the lodging themselves.The league did not specify which players would be covered by the new policy.
MLB raised minimum salaries across the minors for 2021, pushing Class A pay from $290 to $500 per week, Double-A from $350 to $600, and Triple-A from $502 to $700 over the roughly five-month season. Players are only paid in-season. But mostly, players are left to handle housing on their own, usually seeking short-term leases on little notice with a limited budget. It’s not uncommon for teammates to overcrowd apartments and sleep on air mattresses. One player and his girlfriend in 2019 even took the unusual step of living in a renovated school bus.
