Joe Lucia Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A lot of this stuff with PDCs is a guessing game of sorts.There are a total of 11 AAA teams that have their contracts expire after this year and haven't been renewed yet, but some are locks to be renewed - Pawtucket, Norfolk, Tacoma, etc. And then when one team wants to move, it turns into dominos with multiple teams starting to switch. Rarely do you see two teams just swap, like two years ago with the Mets and Jays (Buffalo and Vegas). As for the Dodgers to OKC, there was a report from Oklahoma that popped up a week and a half ago saying that a group affiliated with the Dodgers owners was going to buy the RedHawks and move the Dodgers AAA club there.

Tabe Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 A major lawsuit has been filed against MLB and its 30 teams on behalf of minor league players, claiming they are being paid sub-minimum wage pay. The minimum wage law may not apply to players but there's no question they are paid less than minimum wage hourly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Maybe, maybe not. There are exceptions in the minimum wage law for salaried employees under certain conditions. If salaried, employees must make $455 a week at least. Not all players make that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Also, depending on state law, salaried employees are not necessarily exempt from overtime laws either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 That Mantle one is awesome for it's simplicity and starkness. I really wish I could read Japanese, because the only thing I want in this world is for the poster to say "This is Mickey Mantle. He's going to be playing baseball here. in Japan. 70 Yen per seat."
