Advocates for Minor Leaguers

Advocates for Minor Leaguers is a nonprofit founded in 2020 by former players Raul Jacobson, Ty Kelly, Matt Paré, longtime labor leader Bill Fletcher Jr., and others, to provide a collective voice for Minor League baseball players. For decades, Minor League players endured exploitative working conditions, including extremely low pay, without anyone on their side. Advocates for Minor Leaguers set out to change that. In less than two years, the organization has cemented its place in the baseball landscape and begun to win unprecedented victories for Minor League players.
