Salt Lake Bees players and coaches say they are thrilled with a recent collective bargaining agreement that features a substantial raise for minor league players.
where MLB teams were required to provide housing for qualifying minor league players, following reports that several players would share a small apartment to save costs. That policy will have "further improvements" in 2024.
Salt Lake Bees pitcher Ryan Smith, a Princeton alumnus, told KSL.com he's worked several jobs since being drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the 18th round of the 2019 MLB Draft. Using his education, his "go-to" job is helping tutor high school students preparing to take standardized tests that help them get into colleges, which he feels lucky to have.
"I think a lot of guys are super excited. There have been a lot of people who have worked super hard for this and a lot of people who have come before us — minor leaguers, lawyers, representatives — pushing for change," he said. "I'm happy things were able to be worked out. ... I think it will be huge for minor leaguers, today, tomorrow and as time goes on."
