Prorated salary for the time on the major league roster, otherwise minor league wages.

I believe the major league minimum in now $500K.

Guess Hicks figures he can live on his minor league salary, huh?

You are prorated the season day rate. Also, you gave a substantive jump in your minor league pay by being on the 40-man roster. Some players *like Diamond) are paid their major league numbers in the minors. Some have a split contract which guarantees an even hugher rate if sent to the minors.
