soul of baseball

Chapter 744

Maybe Shen Qin can only hear about how hard it is for the minor league players, but Xi Chuan has experienced it personally.

The rent, the fixed expenses and insurance after tax declaration, and the cheap salary itself is not enough for food after deductions.

It is normal for players to rent together, so it is better to have friends. At that time, I was under more pressure alone, and I could barely survive with a rice cooker cooking rice and noodles. As long as I can eat some oil, I feel like eating a big meal.

Not to mention many Latin American players with their families. For them, as long as they can eat, they will not let it go.It's not easy to be able to fill up at all, not to mention what Yuri arranged for Shen Qin to eat and how much to eat.

Buying a bed or buying an appliance?Forget it!Those players that the team focuses on or who are highly rated are okay, and they will receive special treatment.Those dream chasers just need a place where they can stretch their arms and legs to sleep.Floor, a piece of cloth, done!
So for these players, they can't wait to play away games every day, at least have a free and comfortable place to rest, sleep on a soft bed, and take a hot bath!There is also an air conditioner that can blow!
So during the offseason, I don't work a few more jobs, and life is really difficult.

Moreover, the minor league salary is only available during the season, and it is almost an average from one thousand to two thousand.

So for the players, most of them are pursuing the dream of the major leagues!Everyone knows that as long as you stand firmly in the big league, it means that you can rise from the poor life in the past to the sky.

The 2019 MLB minimum guaranteed salary is $55.

Moreover, the players on the 40-man roster will be protected by the players union, and the players on the roster, whether they are in the major leagues or the minor leagues, can receive a guaranteed annual salary, usually between 4 and 5. Same.

But as long as you have played in the major leagues, one day counts, or you have stayed on the 40-man list for one year, the annual salary will be directly doubled from the minimum annual salary.

In addition to the minimum guaranteed annual salary, during the major leagues, you will get the major league salary for a few days when you stay. (The minimum guaranteed annual salary of the major leagues is calculated.)
Who wouldn't want to make it to the big leagues?

"We will double the salary of all minor league players." (The Blue Jays did this this year, the Blue Jays, right? I don't know if I remember correctly.)
Xi Chuan himself has suffered through those hardships. To put it bluntly, his current dishwashing skills were developed by earning money by washing dishes during the offseason.At that time, I was still subsidizing Shen Qin’s schooling and living expenses, playing the role of a kind and amiable Chinese patron~ but the latter was still unwilling to use the money, and was also using all his time to work. Now that I think about it, the two of them are really It's very sad~
Shen Qin just heard the stories about the minor league players with envy. He didn't expect that these so-called farm players, who sounded so enviable to amateur players, had such a hard life.

Doubling it is definitely a lot more generous for them.It's just that he has nothing to say about other people's words. When he came to Xichuan, he hesitated again: "But your business hasn't started to make money yet! You can let others live well, and you can't do it if you are miserable!"

Nishikawa is so hot!Why does this guy always think of himself as if he is about to go bankrupt!He pinched his round face angrily and said: "The image of the team is very important. It is for the players, and it is also for the fans who pay the bill. I hope that the panda can make everyone feel kind and worth it! The reward is just coming later. .”

"It's not just the salary. I hope that except for those underage and rookie players, the rest of the players can have their own apartments. They must have a bed. They can play well if they sleep well. Of course, three meals a day can't be done. , but still hope to serve a simple meal.”

Shen Qin was pleasantly surprised, how much easier should the players be?You will also be able to focus more on playing well.But it is also inevitable to worry: "Can you hold on?"

Xi Chuan was stunned, and then smiled: "So you want to help me make more money, exposure, advertisements, variety shows, etc., will you be annoyed? I really can't hold on when I run away."

"No! Never! It's good if it can help you make money. It's just me, is it really okay? What if I can't control my temper? Will it affect it? You know I don't look good when I smile, what if others hate it manage?"

"I don't mean to let you play the role of a good baby. Make money as you feel comfortable. It's important to make money, but if the process makes you uncomfortable, we won't make this money, huh?"

Hmm, what, hmm~ Shen Qin rolled his eyes, can something as important as making money come as he wants?Too ignorant!Is it true that Xi Chuan will not be deceived by doing this?
"Hey, you have to be very, very careful when talking about business. I'm worried that you will be cheated. It's okay to lose money, don't be bullied! Come back, let's take our time, don't worry!"

To be honest, Shen Qin still feels incredible about the opponent's building a new team.Major league teams!Why do you say that it is built?
"Brother! Did you win the jackpot!"

puff!
Xi Chuan thought it was wrong when I said a word, but I never expected that there would be such a person behind me, it was just too much fun! "Do you want to diverge so much?"

"Isn't it? Forget it, don't worry about it, anyway, if you have no money, tell me, I will make a lot of money next year! So let's make a lot of publicity, hype, and so on!"

"You don't need to think about these." Xi Chuan patted his head: "Come naturally, do it if you like it, and don't do it if you don't like it. People have to live comfortably and naturally. You must always put this in the first place. Remember ?”

white eyes~
"Why are you rolling your eyes all the time? Where did you learn the bad habit?"

Shen Qin almost couldn't control it again, he just touched the bag and gritted his teeth, took out a box and handed it over: "Jiajia gave it to you."

"What? Wow! Beautiful!"

"like or not?"

"I like it! I like it very much!"

Shen Qin poked at him angrily: "Don't give away those in the future, it's so expensive, I'm afraid it will break when I wear it."

"Huh? You don't like it? I think you look really good wearing this." Xi Chuan led him to wipe the soap on the side of the sink: "Jade nourishes people."

The bracelet was carefully taken off: "I got you a jade token and wrapped it up so that you won't hurt your body if it gets broken during the game. You don't have to take it off. As long as you don't practice the bracelet, you can still wear it." Wear it."

Shen Qin was confused: "Why? What if you bump into something? It's so expensive!"

"If it's broken, just replace it with another one, didn't you say it? Jade nourishes people."

"Returning people to raise jade!" Jianren insisted that Shen Qin was making the last effort: "It would be great if you used so much money to buy players!"

"It's different! Listen to me!"

The jade plaque is very beautiful, but the incomprehensible scriptures on it are very strange: "Xichuan, are you really not a member of any cult? You know, some messy religions here in the United States are terrible! Human trafficking to cheat money It's light."

"What are you thinking about? Go read a book."
