Does Anyone Know How Much Rookie Free Agents Make In MLB?

Last night I was having this discussion. I said it had to be south of $200k and estimated maybe $150k. The person I was talking to about this said no, it was probably closer to $50k.
I googled and the only thing I could find with a quick glance was an article from last year about rookie free agents signing for $20k. That's with the whole pandemic and short season so I guess in a regular season it is closer to $50k.

You mean minor leaguers? Yeah, they make shite. Probably closer to 20K than 50K. Depends on class.

If you’re on the 25 man roster you’re getting around $3,400/game which is a prorated salarary of around $550k/season. I think mlb players must have 3 seasons of service before they can arbitrate their salary from league minimum

Undrafted rookies don’t have a set amount but think it’s typically 5k-20k signing bonus if that’s what you’re asking
Major league minimum is around 500k as said above

Odds are an undrafted Rookie is not getting a Major league contract. They will be in the minors and making next to nothing and paying for their own hotel rooms and some, if not most, meals when travelling.

1200 a month during the playing season for minor leaguers. Triple A guys can earn a normal working salary depending on contact, years, etc.
MLB roster minimum salary is 550k for a full season and prorated if you get called up at some time during the season

No shite. Odds are a rookie isn’t a free agent
the question wasn’t exactly clear

1) One day on a MLB roster, is health care for life
2) Prorated major-league minimum yearly salary
3) When a player is placed on a 25-man roster, he begins to also get a cut of the MLBPA Players Choice group licensing program. (Baseball cards, apparel, video games...)
4) 41 days on MLB roster, he's entitled to receive pension benefits

Friend's kid who was drafted in the 3rd rd got a $600k signing bonus.

You question is confusing. As a free agent (at 6 years of service or cut by the team) a player can sign for whatever they negotiate. A "Rookie" cash flows will be determined by his draft ranking and bonus. There are no rookie free agents.
