The amount of money an MLB player receives as a pension depends on how many years they are in the league. After just 43 days of employment in Major League Baseball, a player is eligible to receive $34,000 per year in pension money. Many players who play 10 or more years receive $100,000 per year, some more.
According to a 2004 article, quoting the MLBPA, yes. About $165,000 a year.

If a player has a full year of service for the past year and the union isn't holding money for the next bargaining agreement, a player usually receives around 35-40,000 for the past year.
Baseball has a sliding scale pension plan that pays players based on service time. I believe if you were on an active roster for at least 43 days in your career you qualify. The minimum pension is $1,000/mo ($24k/year) and the plan goes up to $180,000 for players with 10+ years of service. The plan starts paying at age 62.
