If I'm understanding this correctly, this is repayment for only unpaid time in the minors (spring training, extended spring training, instructional leagues and the like). I'd always thought it odd they didn't get paid while at Spring Training (Not that the pay was very good in season). During ST they did get free lodging, some per diem cash and a couple meals at the facilities per day (although, if they weren't at MLB spring training the food wasn't always the healthiest).

$5K isn't much, but it's better than nothing and this process has greatly improved the situation in the MiLB. I believe these much needed changes are a reason the draft has been cut to 20 rounds.
