Major League Baseball’s minimum salary for their players
rose to an all-time high of $507,500 before the 2015 season, up from an even
$500K in 2014, and that is where it will remain at least through the 2016
season.
The collective bargaining agreement, which expires after the
2016 season just as a reminder, states that a cost-of-living adjustment is
based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers.
That measure, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, decreased over the last
12 months meaning a raise is not coming, although neither is a decrease.
Just as an FYI the minor league minimum salary for a player
signing a second major league contract will also stay the same at $82,700 while
the minor league minimum for a player signing an initial big league contract
also stays the same at $41,400.
