Increasing minor-league pay was, simply put, a logical move by the BlueJays (via SNJeffBlair)
The issue of minor-league pay has been a thorny one for the game. Attendance in the minors was down last season, but the optics of athletes earning less than minimum wage at a time when Major League Baseball generated a record revenue of over $10 billion were difficult.

Reggie Pruitt, a 21-year-old right-hand-hitting outfielder at Single-A Lansing, was one of the call-ups from minor-league camp for Monday’s 9-8 win over the Minnesota Twins. He seemed to be debating Giles’ ice-cream offer. “It’s not the Majors, but we’re out there every day playing baseball and doing our thing and instead of peanut butter and jelly, I can get real meals and recover after some long, hot days,” he said. “That little bit extra is going to go toward helping the body withstand some things.”
