Good for him. It's becoming more and more blatant to how unfairly these players are being treated with their minimal wage salaries that they are bestowed after having been drafted. I for one hope to see a loosening of sorts on the constraints of the MLB owner's vices that which they have laid upon these youngsters so as to see a more fruitful development process and an overall growth to our wonderful sport.

Yeah I caught that and fair play to him, younger/ minor league players need to be paid fairly. As down as I am on 10 year retirement deals that sees some washed up 38 year old vet earning 28 mil a year it wouldn't be happening if a guy is earning his fair share in his prime.
