How many businesses pay guys coming out of college more than a guy who's been with them for 10 years? I know in every school system I have applied for beginning teachers make less than teachers who have years of experience. So why would baseball (or any sport for that matter) be any different? Virtually all businesses have a pay scale structure in place for employees.

Depends upon what you do, and as a "vetran" you can choose to work for a different company/district willing to pay you more. Most pro baseball players can't really do that as the system is rigged to prevent players from easily changing teams for a better opportunity. The only "leverage" a player has on a pro team prior to free aganecy is his signing bonus opportunity.

If the teams could limit the signing bonsus I am 100% sure they would pocket the savings.
