Probably not all of them...but I bet some of them will be.

article says season not post season, so i would assume none, but if word season includes post season we basically only have one more list to look at for a chance

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2026/07/05/jacob-misiorowski-all-star-game-brewers-rain-mlb/90805897007/

so to be fair, who on the major, mid major and low major Collegiate umpire conferences next year with a list, can we guess on how many will be working post season, or and a list of High Schools in each state with a list to chose from that to be guessing they will be working post season, or liitle league with a list to guess from that will be working post season.

and could we get a list of those to guess from that will be new MLBU crew chiefs next year.

and

guess which ones of the below will get the new 7 jobs on the staff next year

but i imagine from this old 2004 contract in which the categories have still pretty much stayed the same, just the amount of money has changed over time, they are still receiving that $23,000 bonus, as long as the playoffs are played, and maybe/probably more after 22 years and 5 contracts later, with an negotiated enhanced pension 22 years later now, and an enhanced severance since 2004.
