@TPM posted:I don't know if they still do it but 25% is what the government takes from your bonus checks when cut, to be adjusted later at tax time. Nice part was for son, his check was cut in Florida so he had no state taxes to pay.
Years ago checks were originally cut without deductions, etc. but not reported by players and the government came down on all of the teams to take all deductions from bonus checks and 25% was the agreed amount.
Do states go after minor leaguers like they do major league athletes for playing (working) in their state? Do they make MiLBers file in every state they play? Or do they consider the tax revenue peanuts?
