Maybe knowing there WOULD BE cuts each year would help guys continue to improve in order to keep their great jobs and not have to go back to little money and bus trips from Toledo to Indianapolis all summer.

Note: I have a ton of respect for minor league umpires and what they do to reach their dream.
