I'm all about capitalism and paying what the market will bear but these guys are being paid chump change and although it's a dream to play the game, it has a salary, benefits and responsibilities that are all synonymous with a J.O.B. without the compensatory pay scale often found in a competitive business /economic environment.
Maybe this is baseball's way to weed out guys by/at a certain age/level and replace them with younger, eager , hungrier & cheaper talent?
