Former Brewers organization and Oklahoma State righthander Jonathan Perrin joined ‘From
Phenom to the Farm’ in 2021 to discuss his career in baseball, and the financial side of the game.
A certified financial planner in his post-playing days, Perrin has worked with organizations such
as More Than Baseball to improve financial literacy and labor conditions in baseball.

 

Following the ratification of the first ever Minor League Baseball Collective Bargaining, Perrin
returned to the latest episode of ‘From Phenom to the Farm’ to discuss the new CBA, and its
impacts on current and future players, including:

• Pay increases and standards of living
• How this CBA improves the on-field aspect of professional baseball
• The change in calculus of the signing decision for high school and college draftees
• Benefits for young players and players from Latin America
• What labor progress looks like for MiLB moving forward

Jonathan also touches on what Opening Day and the first few weeks of breaking camp are like
for minor leaguers. If you want a full deep dive into his career, check out the ‘From Phenom to
