You are getting a late start for this goal. You'll need to attend one of two "approved" schools from which minor league candidates are drawn. Each school lasts about 5 weeks and occurs in January (they just finished). From each school, about 20 candidates are selected to go on for more evaluation. I've heard that this year, 4 of those 40 will get minor league jobs. Those minor league jobs pay about $2000 / month for the 5 month season. You or your partner will drive from site to site. The owner of the car gets some mileage reimbursement, but it doesn't really cover the full costs.
I'm not trying to discourage you -- just giving you some of the facts. If you're serious, then I'd suggest you contact the schools and see what they recommend between now and next January.
