Minor leaguers aren’t unskilled labor. Even A level players are elite in their skills relative to all college players. Besides, their pay should have been adjusted for inflation over the years. Had that been the case A level players would be making about $2,500 per month.

"After a 40 per cent raise, a first-year Triple-A player will make roughly $3,050 per month or $15,250 for a five-month season. In Double-A, players will get 50 per cent boost to about $2,550 per month or $12,750 per season. Single-A players receive a 56 percent raise to just less than  $2,400 per month or a shade below $12,000 per season.

It should be stressed that these figures are rough estimates, extrapolated by adding the Jays' percentage increases to the minimum minor-league salaries set by Major League Baseball. They do not include bonuses or the wide variance in Triple-A salaries based on a player's experience. And MLB mandates salaries for all players playing their first pro season"
