It's a little more complicated because minor league players get paid a pro-rated daily rate while they are in the big leagues and a split salary where they earn next to nothing on the farm.
But in theory, the minimum pro-rated daily wage the shittiest player in baseball can earn is still 700k for the 184 day or so regular season.
Minimum salary in 2022 was just negotiated to rise to 700k in baseball.
Your point still stands.
