Each team handles it differently. Some stay with host families, others live in dormatories. My son played his rookie ball for the Braves and they were housed at a low-end suite-type hotel. Some teams provide no housing and the players are on their own to find apartments, etc. And, as was said earlier,the kingly salary of $850 a month won't buy you much luxury. That's why players have to be pretty mature and mentally tough when they sign that contract.
