@Gunner Mack Jr. posted:I am not sure if this is available still but I had been offered a few times, I want to say 6 years ago, the opportunity to invest in a fund that bought future earnings of minor league players. The fund would approach a player and offer him an amount based on a belief of ability to make an MLB roster in exchange for a percentage of his future earnings. For instance, they would agree to give a player $100k for 10% of all future earnings. This was to help the player with the lack of income but it is of course could be a terrible deal for the player if they hit it big. I can't recall if they built in caps. I didn't invest. $18 per day to live on is not possible.
HBO Sports did a great report on this...it's run by a former Phillies pitcher.
