Three United States senators sent a letter to Rob Manfred asking whether a new Florida law undermines Major League Baseball\'s collective bargaining agreement with minor league players and could \"put at risk the gains made by minor league players to finally earn a living wage.\"
The letter, signed by Senate Judiciary Committee chair Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) and John Hickenlooper (D-Colorado), questioned why MLB lobbied Florida lawmakers for a broad exemption to the state\'s minimum wage laws while negotiating the historic CBA that was ratified in April and drastically increased player pay.
In June, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law S.B. 892, which exempts minor league players from minimum wage and maximum hour laws.
