The difference in salary between a Minor League Player and a Major League players is a lot of money. Both MLB and the minor leagues have set minimum salaries that a player can earn in each respective league.
The MLB minimum salary ranges in the hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. The minor league baseball ( AAA ) salary ranges only in the tens of thousands of dollars.
According to CBS sports ( http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/14446065/minimum-salary-raised-to-414000 ) the MLB minimum salary that a player can make is $414,000. Currently, for 2011, a minor league baseball player who is part of a forty man team or has played at least one game at the Major League level can make a minimum of $67,300 per year.
The difference in salary between a MLB minimum wage and minor league minimum wage is $346,700 per year.
This is an increase from last year. I linked a bookmark below that delves a bit into the pay increase from 2010 to 2011. Check it out.
