I know they are during the season. Knowing how stingy Manfred and the owners are, I'd be shocked if they were providing offseason housing.

And of course the $15,000 (which is basically the high amount) is only being paid during the season. They're on their own to bring in income during the offseason.

And yes. You're right. The military are paid crap wages... Which I also wish would be addressed.

Too many people in "the richest country on Earth" are paid crap wages. A pretty fucked up situation when we have so many billionaires while others get crap wages.
