Ok now what about the non-millionaire hotel workers, security staff, grounds crews, media members, team traveling staffs, clubhouse attendants, janitorial workers, food service workers, and the billion other people required to make that 3.5 hour game happen every night?

Simple. You have attendants for each team. Look at what an attendant normally makes, then bump it. Many would be glad to work.

Janitorial workers? For what? Maybe have 1 guy on standby in case a toilet is clogged.

Food service workers are already employed in many places. You want to create jobs? Hire teams from Subway, Chick Fil A, and some legit cooks. Have them rotate from hotel to hotel. Once again, I bet you can find people and give them enough money to make sure they live in isolation as well. I suppose that doesn’t mean you can trust them.

Nobody can get through a season without a pool of minor leaguers to call up during an injury situation. How do you have those guys ready to play?

That’s why they have a 50 man roster. You are essentially combining a major league and triple a team into one. There are minor league fields or ‘back fields’ for each team at their facility. It’s plenty of room for them to train and workout.
