SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A day after the Associated Press reported that Major League Baseball plans to increase minor-league salaries in 2021, a league source told The Chronicle that the Giants have had internal discussions about doing so unilaterally this season.

President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi would not comment, but Giants reliever Tyler Cyr hinted as much during an interview Friday about the baseball-wide increases planned for 2021, which were detailed in a memo that the league office sent to all 30 major league teams.

“I actually know the Giants are going to be front-runners on a few things,” Cyr said.

It’s not clear how much of a boost Giants minor-leaguers would get in 2020 if the organization enacts the plan. The league memo said that in 2021 the raises would range from 38% to 72%, varying by level.

The Toronto Blue Jays raised pay for their minor-leaguers last season as the issue became contentious. Major League Baseball faces a class-action lawsuit aimed at forcing the league and its teams to follow state laws and pay players the minimum wage. The suit also seeks back pay for what could be thousands of past and current players.
