baggio202 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 about the minor leagues. are they in the equation? from my understanding from what ive read is the major league teams pays the players bonuses..the salaries are paid for by the minor league teams..unless the player has a special contract with the parent club...then the difference is paid for by them...the salaries are all set at a certain level..anything over that is pick up by the parent club....most parent clubs do subsidize some of the operating expenditures for their farm clubs i believe...i believe the parent club picks up travel expenses when a player is moved from one team within the org to another...HSC can confirm or deny this and id bow to her better judgement as im going from memory on an article i read in SI about 10 maybe 15 years ago.,..things might have changed alot since then too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
