Pursuing what appears to be the Pecos League model, former Pecos League coach Mike Greene is working to launch the new Mount Rainier Professional Baseball League in the Pacific Northwest. Greene has reportedly secured a deal to play at historic Olympic Stadium in Hoquiam (WA), the former home of the defunct indy pro Grays Harbor Gulls (Western Baseball League). We’ll let Brandon Sparks from OlySports.com take it from here. Read more from the Daily World here. View the MRPBL Facebook page here.

I’m no expert in all this but not knowing anyone’s contract situations, if players agree to play for $50 a month, $200 a month, whatever, and they get that pay, what’s the problem? Of course if they are not paid what their contract says that’s an issue, but if they get whatever money they’re promised, who cares?
the Pecos League pays all 22 players $50 to $70 per week
Matt,
We have heard otherwise. Have they been consistent about this?

What I am told by guys who play there is that just a portion of the roster is paid, and it’s around $200 a month, which is a joke.
The Pecos League doesn’t pay all their players because they can’t or because they don’t need to ?
My understanding is that the Pecos doesn’t pay all the players. By definition, that means the Pecos is not professional.
