This is true. While I do wish he could have gotten more of a signing bonus, he has a choice.

And he could do that if he wanted to

10x what he would make in single A? Sure
10x what he would make in the majors?
I think you are overestimating how much a land man makes

I assume you’re referring to what he’d make in the minors, since the 2023 minimum MLB salary is 720K.

What job exactly could he get for 200,000 signing bonus?

He didn’t get a $200k bonus
Ahh, the 10x.
Ignore me

Please provide both numbers you equate to 10 times...

I bet he would sign for nothing to get a chance to catch lightning in a bottle and make it to the bigs. I know I would have.

What job would pay him that much that isn't some kind of athletic kick back or family business deal?
Posted on 7/13/23 at 7:27 pm to 00 Tech Grad
$20K was his signing bonus.
No idea of his actual salary:

Since when did recent graduates go and start making 250-300k a year?
Posted on 7/13/23 at 7:50 pm to Blutarsky
Actual salary in the minors is about enough to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches 3 meals a day. AAA is better but you don’t really make any real money until you hit the bigs
Posted on 7/13/23 at 8:01 pm to MurphyEarl815
Except their meals and room and board is paid for outside of their salary

I’m not sure what you guys think Minor Leaguers make, but it’s really not very much.
Idk what his signing bonus was, slot was $165k, but minor league guys aren’t paid very much. $20k a year is not out of the ordinary.
