Players receive a signing bonus off which many live for several years in addition to their salary. Umpires receive no signing bonus and they don't make $3,000 a month until AAA, around year 7 of umpiring for most. They still start out at about $1,900 a month.

Plus several MLB teams own some of their MiLB affiliates.
