This is from 2005 .. so the nubmers might be a little off but you'll get a guideline of where its atThe minimum minor league salary for players who play on teams with 40 person rosters in their second year or who have played a day in the major league is $52,600 ($50,000 in 2004).
The Major League Baseball office handles minor league contracts. It states:
"First contract season: $850/month maximum. After that, open to negotiation
Alien Salary Rates: Different for aliens on visas--mandated by INS (Immigration).
Triple-A--First year: $2,150/month, after first year no less than $2,150/month
Class AA-First year: $1,500/month, after first year no less than $1,500/month
Class A (full season)--First year: $1,050/month, after first year no
less than $1,050/month
Class A (short-season)--First year: $850/month, after first year no
less than $850/month
Dominican & Venezuelan Summer Leagues--no lower than $300/month
Meal Money: $20 per day at all levels, while on the road"

It looks like minor league contracts are open for negotiation as are major league salaries so its impossible to really say how much more than the minimum salary caps can be earned. For example, a 4th year Class A player cannot be paid less than $850 a month but there is no salary cap to determine what salary a club can pay that player. The
only salary cap is for the first year of minor league service (see above).
The Major League Union is against salary caps and everything seems to be based on performance pay,negotiation and arbitartion.

Yes they do get paid and it is quite alot for their skill to even get into the minor leagues but it just depends on how much skill you have to what your salary would be. Take Alex Rodriguez for example...he is a very very good baseball player and his salary shows it...I hope this helps!What is the best website to buy 2007 baseball cards?
Minor league players are professionals, even in Rookie leagues. Professionals get paid. There are minimum salaries at every level, but that doesn't mean that the pay is good.Many teams have open try-outs at some point during the summer. You can check individual team pages from MLB to get that information.
Just getting signed at any level is a very, very long shot from a tryout camp.
