interesting

I read that MLBPA union dues are $85 per day (during the season). I wonder if they are going to charge the minor leaguers the same amount.

Good news. Today the court approved our $185 million settlement with MLB for minor leaguers. 9 years of litigation. A landmark result that will provide much-needed backpay to thousands of ballplayers, and that yields important changes to the contract.

The last two links to stories about this deal doesn't offer any info on the dues.

The amount of $85. over the course of a season is over $13,000. So I would guess the minor league dues will be significantly less.

Complex leagues: $19,800 annually (up from $4,800)
Low-A: $26,200 (up from $11,000)
High-A: $27,300 (up from $11,000)
Double-A: $30,250 (up from $13,800)
Triple-A: $35,800 (up from $17,500)
