Reply to "Playing college baseball after minor leagues?"

As I said, it was purely my take, the rule is the rule...they are unable to have agents...that was purely my take. What other reasons would they not be allowed to have the agent.

Q: Does the Association limit the percentage an agent can earn from negotiating a client's salary?
A: Just as the Association endorses a free market system for its players in negotiating contracts with Club owners, the agent fee is negotiated freely between the player and his agent. The only stipulation is that the agent cannot charge a fee unless the player's salary negotiated exceeds the Major League minimum (currently $327,000). If the salary negotiated does exceed the minimum, any fee charged may not, when subtracted from the salary negotiated, produce a net salary to the player below or equal to the minimum salary. Bonuses constitute salary only if earned.
