U.S. judge approves $185-million settlement in lawsuit launched by minor leaguers against Major League Baseball
A $185-million settlement in a lawsuit by minor leaguers against Major League Baseball for violating federal minimum wage laws was approved Wednesday by a federal judge.
Notification of the settlement was sent ahead of approval to about 24,000 players potentially eligible to share the money, with estimated payments to players averaging in the $5,000 to $5,500 range. The Major League Baseball Players Association took over representation of players with minor league contracts last September and reached agreement Wednesday on an initial collective bargaining agreement, two days ahead of the start of the minor league season.The deal was announced May 10. Of the settlement, $55-million will go to attorneys’ fees, about $4.
The suit was filed in 2014 by first baseman/outfielder Aaron Senne, a 10th-round pick of the Marlins in 2009 who retired in 2013, and two other retired players who had been lower-round selections: Kansas City infielder Michael Liberto and San Francisco pitcher Oliver Odle. They claimed violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state minimum wage and overtime requirements for a work week they estimated at 50 to 60 hours.
