So basically they’re happy to take a loan but don’t want the responsibility of paying their portion of the agreement. It’s still absurd that minor leaguers aren’t paid anything that’s worth a damn. Great video!
The video doesnt explain signing bonuses, which can reach several million dollars for top prospects. But thats a one-time payment, not an annual salary.
This is such a dead simple biz model. Why are people crying. Why doesn't Scott Boris financially support these athletes then? They take a lot of risk and you get to live and train decently and only if you get a huge contract will they benefit substantially. I'm not saying I like this biz but its there to help people and YES SCOTT it targets poor people and those people can choose not to use it. Its certainly not going to target rich people because they dont need the money. WTF.
@MatthewKonvict no they dont, they make about as much as a fast food job if not alittle less, i dont know what job your working where im guessing they make more than you but sounds like you need a new career choice
This is essentially what FC Barcelona did. Something like 25% of their future TV revenue for the next couple of decades in exchange for 500 million Euros
If MLB and MLBPA claim this is taking advantage of players, then why dont they raise the pay of the players? Fans can also help by going to their Local minor league games. The more revenue those teams get the more money they can justify spending on minor league players.
They’re essentially the JG Wentworth of MLB. Never knew this existed. I’m sure Tatis’s dad ‘helped’ him. Let’s not forget he has like 5 kids with multiple women. That’s expensive. Not to mention if you’re getting so hyped that your perception of your current vs projected worth is distorted. And let’s be honest, these players are surrounded by and influenced by a culture that habitually lives beyond its means, on borrowed money etc.
- "Im sure tatis's dad helped him" How do you know this? And if so why would JR risk giving millions to this agency if dad was helping him so much? - "Lets not forget he has like 5 kids" A lot of plumbers, construction workers and even gas station workers have 5 kids and are able to take care of them so this is a ludicrous statement. Probably making this statement more ludicrous is those kids are probably living in a developing country with lower costs on everything and have a father that earned 17 Million in his MLB career and even today gets an MLB pension. Im not taking sides on this and don't know the whole story but its sad if his dad didn't help him financially in the minors. One thing I do know is 5 kids is hardly a burden to take care of for a multi millionaire.
@@markk2745 a better more succinct way of encapsulating everything I said above is Tatis was obviously trying to keep up with the Joneses by taking that advance, as his 800k signing bonus was peanuts compared to lots of his Dominican peers and perhaps to what he was used to growing up being son of a multi millionaire
Wow, thanks for shedding a light on this subject. First off the minor league players need to get paid more. I wish we knew more details about how much it costs to run these minor league teams but it wouldn't hurt most MLB teams to spend an extra million or two to support their AAA ball players. As for the Big League Advance, I don't mind what they are doing, they take a risk by giving you money and these are full grown adults making their decisions. If a player doesn't make it to the big leagues they don't get a dime, seems like a fair deal especially if you come from a really bad place and need a leg up to get ur dreams done.
@@HaloToday I agree with all of that! Truly, MLB has yet to do anything about this problem (except make it worse, so it’s nice to see BLA solving it for them
You left out one important piece of information for us to give valid thoughts... What is the average amount an agent usually gets from signed MLB contracts???
I just looked it up... The aver is 4-5%... So 8% is about 3% more... Not bad considering they are paying them about 350,000, when I believe the other agents pay the players nothing... and they probably don't usually get the top prospects because they probably had a signing bonus... And if their numbers are accurate and not lying or something then they will see nothing from 90% of the time they pay 350,000 (or whatever they pay)...I think they are good, but they should be investigated, or at least monitored to make sure they are doing the right thing by these kids...
Minor League Baseball salary needs to be reworked, and the association should also add a limit like 5% of contract or up to 1 million dollars. Taking tens of millions of dollars is criminal. They could also make it funding based like Tatis could pay back a generous donation if he thought it helped a lot, and lower the amount he has to give back in the contract.
So where does the money to minor leaguers come from? It comes from MLB, which affects teams and what they can spend on their big league players. BLA is just doing what the league would do, but as a private company and from a few players vs. all of them. It works out for most players who make the league because most last a few years and only make hundreds of thousands rather than millions.
Well, I can think of a few things. Let's start with a more positive outlook: 1) Not all parents just give their children their wealth without earning it. Shaq, for example, is known to make his children work for his wealth and be successful in their own right. Okay, on to the negative/skeptical/cynical POV. 1) Fernando Tatis Jr. has been very very reckless both in his professional career and his personal life. That kinda behavior should be worrisome to a parent, especially if you are dipping into their career earnings and savings. 2) A skeptical POV with a lot of speculation if that maybe Fernando Tatis Sr. never knew how to grow that money. $10 million dollars is certainly a lot, but if not used properly, over a lifetime it could be gone. Also, with inflation, that $10 million isn't worth the same. 3) That brings me to my last point which is ramped speculation and has barely any grounds. It's possible that Jr. recklessness comes from a similar recklessness from his father. I know covering up for a reckless son doesn't reflect recklessness of the parent (because most of the time a good parent will stand with their kid), but it's worth noting in this section. By the time, it came for Tatis Jr. to play, it is possible his father didn't have the money to pay for it. Needless to say, I'm sure the reason is complicated. It's easy for us to make critiques on the outside without knowing the inner workings.
@@russellchung3119 Yes that's certainly fair and I'm sure at least one or a combination of some of the things you said there is true. Just generally speaking, a lot of these former players sons are well funded and groomed at a young age to play ball with all the resources possible. I am Assuming he had the money but I could be totally wrong. Either way, seems like this agency is a straight up investment fund lol. They invest in a player and give them an advance and in Fernando's case, that bet on him paid off big time.
Thats is not a positive outlook that’s an idiotic outlook, there’s no reason in satans hot hell for someone to be worth dam near a billion dollars and have not even a hand full of children which you could comfortably take care of by making a quarter of what Shaq makes and not automatically give them wealth that’s idiotic and Shaq isn’t proving anything by doing that greedy shit
i like it in a way. i mean yea loosing 10% of ur income sucks sure...... but.......... they are taking a huge gamble on you...... and they have no fallback if u dont make it. that said i also see they have as u said dif rates. depending on ur talent scout. personally i see no issue with this. if u want to get the cash injection early to make ur minor league days easier... still that said. mlb should be paying their minor league players around 50k a year. 40k min and ofc giving them housing, and food expenses etc. no extra cost team wise. they could easily cut MLB contracts lets say 5% and make that fly. also if they just do what banna leagues been doing. make the game more fun for fans. they sell more tickets and again make the minors more profitable
Kid doesn't make it but at least gets some money from his baseball career. Sounds like a good deal to me. Minor leaguers have pools like this too. Look up Pando Pooling. They've been doing it for years.
A lot of players who may not be top prospects and got a mall signing bonus but dramatically improved (Or can dramatically improve with freedom this money provides) can really benefit from something like this. Yeah it sucks when you gotta fork over 27 mil down the road but you might have never seen any of that 300 mil if you didn't get that financial support when it was needed. This is such a WIN/WIN for everybody except low integrity borrowers who happily took the money but are mad when they have to pay it back.
When Purely and Jon boy have a video together it’ll be a PB&J vid. Credit to my wife for the “joke” I told my wife what the league minimum is and she’s upset I’m not making that to play a kids game

Seems like a similar thing record companies do with potential singers. They invest a lot of money into their careers and music a majority of them flop. In the rare case if they do become super stars IE: Taylor Swift the company makes a ton of money.
I never knew of this prior to this video, super interesting! Based on the information presented, the issues raised by Scott Boris and anybody who would agree with him reek of hypocrisy. How do they think that international signing bonuses work? It’s not like Boris helps for free either. BLA sounds kind of sleazy, that’s fair, but the way that the MLB refuses to invest in its minor league system and refuses to provide basic amenities like health care leave the door open for a company like this to exist. Same can be said for the MLBPA in how they don’t look after minor leaguers. If they have an issue with this, they should change how the minor leagues function. Until that point, there really isn’t anything to discuss.

The average salary for a major league player is about $4.5M/year.

They could even graduate the salaries based on league so like min $50K for single A, $75K for double A, $100K for triple A, and that would probably make the math more like paying an extra 2-3 players. Or hell, just shrink the growth rate of major league salaries for a few years, and the entire thing would pay for itself. The only reason minor league players get paid like shit is sheer greed on the part of MLB teams' owners. It is a travesty upon America's greatest game that we continue to let this happen.
