The figure came from a minor league umpire. According to him the current pay schedule is close to 15,000 for AAA, 12,000 for AA and 10,000 for full time A.
The inital request according to this umpires was for 45,000; 30,000 and 25,000....no too far from 300%. If this voting member of the AMLU is correct, I'll be happy to tell him. Just let me know.

Well, even if these ARE correct numbers, which is speculation at this point, the increase is not 300%. It's 200%, 150%, and 150% respectively.
