The 2020 Draft Thread

Are pensions and health insurance included for comp with minor leaguers?

At the very least if you guaranteed this in some form that would be good.

Minor leaguers do receive health insurance with MLB paying 100% of the premium, however, they need to have 1 year of service credit in the minors to be enrolled in the pension plan.

Is that health insurance year-round while the player is under contract or only in place during the season to cover baseball-related injuries?
