Pay minor leaguers fair wages

Season 1, Episode 15,   Jul 08, 2019, 02:27 AM

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the podcast from Amazin’ Avenue focusing on the Mets’ minor leagues.

This week, Steve and Lukas quickly break down the surprising signing of thirteenth round draft pick Blaine McIntosh.

After, the team discusses the hitter and pitcher of the week, Joe Genord and Kevin Smith.

Next, Steve and Lukas delve into what life is like for the average minor leaguer. From poor pay, substandard housing options, non-optimal nutrition, and a variety of other issues, the minor league life is far from glorious. What can be done to improve the conditions these young men have to deal with?

Finally, the team reminisces about players that had success around this time in years past in Oh Yeah, That Guy.
