Nobody ever got rich owning and operating a MiLB franchise. With a good team, the gate and concessions might cover your loan interest.
Also: why should the umpires make more than the players? Last I heard, MiLB players made around $3K/month, about the same as the umpires.
Finally: the players and umpires do it for the same reason: it's the only way to get to the show. And the chance of winning that particular lottery is itself a form of compensation.
