Besides, 9.25M isn't even that much money in MLB. Remember, in the MLB, higher draft picks don't get more per year than other rookies. Pre-arbitration salary is the same for every player. Approximately $750,000.

Plus, minor leaguers only get paid between 675 and 1200 dollars per week (27 week season)

So, in essence, every rookie signs a 3 to 5 year contract (depending on how long they're in the minors) worth ~2.5 million dollars plus whatever signing bonus they get.

Condon signed for the same $9.25 mill signing bonus. Also Fairchild is back and Rios was dfa'd.
