MLB seems to follow the Blue Jays

Hell has frozen over. Yesterday you could read here that the Toronto Blue Jays will raise the salary of their minor leaguers with 50%. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, MLB appears to follow suit.

According to Passan, Major League Baseball has reportedly suggested changes that would improve minor league playing conditions during a collective-bargaining session.
Next, to better transportation and a higher standard of living, a significant increase in salary would be part of the proposed changes.

In a statement to ESPN, MLB explained:

“While each Club makes its own decisions regarding minor league salaries, the Office of the Commissioner is presently in negotiations with the National Association of Professional Baseball on the terms of a new agreement between the Major Leagues and the Minor Leagues to replace the agreement that expires in September 2020. The working conditions of minor league players, including their compensation, facilities, and benefits, is an important area of discussion in those negotiations.”
