Tom Brennan - New Minor Leagues CBA, and a Jake Peek

There Ya Go!

Apparently both new AND initial. 

This first-ever MILB CBA (as reported by Jeff Passan of ESPN).

It calls for:

These pay increases in the minor leagues: Complex league: From $4,800 per year to $19,800 Low-A: $11,000 to $26,200 High-A: $11,000 to $27,300 AA: $13,800 to $30,250 AAA: $17,500 to $35,800 Players will be paid almost year-round, aside from a six-week break in the winter.

Not sure of other details, and the pay is still relatively minimal, but significant boosts nonetheless.

GOOD FOR THEM.

JAKE PEEK:

I thought it might be interesting to consider that in recent games that count, Jake deGrom, in September and October 2022 and in yesterday's opener, has thrown 32 innings, given up 19 earned runs, and 7 HRs among 29 hits

Even with 54 Ks over that stretch, has he become mortal? That's a lot of runs and HRs, bro'.

In contrast, in 92 innings in 2021, he gave up 11 earned runs.

Is he coming down off Mt. Olympus and becoming a mere mortal? Thor already has long since descended.

Glad we've got the Cy Young winner with the Teres pull instead, aren't you?
