Per their attorney, Garrett @Broshuis, a former SF Giants' minor leaguer:
"The ultimate goal is pretty simple: to get MLB to comply with the same laws that Walmart and McDonald's comply with... During a season, there's no reason for players to be making $7,500 or $8,000 a year."

IN BASEBALL TERMS:
MLB tried to win the case with a big swing but the fences on wage law were far enough back to keep the ball IN play-- and, in so doing, keeping the lawsuit alive.
The game will proceed. Minor league players still have a fighting chance to take down Goliath.
