Minor league host families have been phased out in the new CBA, thanks to increased wages. But the stories of players like Carlos Estévez and the Hagen family will disappear.
This was in 2013 and Estévez, now a fan-favoritecloser with 12 saves, at the time was navigating the early years of his professional career. He’d spent the previous two years in the Dominican Summer League, then was sent to Tri-City, formerly a Rockies affiliate, but was there just a few days before being moved to Colorado.
“‘Yes, of course we’re coming. When is it?’” Stephanie recalled the conversation. “‘Today? Oh, OK.’ He goes, ‘I’ll have tickets for you.’ ” The Hagens are looking forward to seeing Estévez again this season, when he and the Angels head to Colorado for a series in June. “While players are sincerely appreciative of the many fans who hosted players in their homes, they’re excited this spring about the first minor league CBA, including salary and housing policy improvements that made the practice unnecessary,” the players union said in a statement.
Minor league baseball’s host families were volunteers, who received a perk of season tickets or discounted tickets and merchandise fromthe minor league team. The basic requirements of being a host previously stipulated that families just have a place for players to sleep, with no rules about living conditions.Carlos Estévez knows all about trying out for teams. Entering his seventh major league season, the hard-throwing right-hander could become the Angels’ closer.
