A variety of MLB teams have already revealed plans for the year for non-player employees. Some have instituted furloughs and/or pay cuts while others have committed to carry employees through the fall. Still other teams are taking things on a month-to-month basis, with several revealing their latest plans in recent days.
At least three teams have decided to continue paying employees in full through at least the end of June. The Cardinals are one such team, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports on Twitter. The Twins are also in that camp, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com tweets. And the White Sox are adjusting work hours but not take-home pay, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter).
Elsewhere in the central divisions, there were some cuts. The Cubs are keeping their full slate of employees at full-time capacity, but are instituting some salary reductions, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reported on Twitter. And though the Pirates will not draw down their baseball operations staff, they will reduce pay in that arena while furloughing some business employees, as Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Out west, the Giants will retain their entire full-time staff but will be trimming pay for those earning over $75K, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Part-timers have been furloughed.
The Astros have committed to maintaining full pay and benefits for full-time employees, but only through June 5th, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. Whether some action could occur beyond that point remains to be seen. The Orioles are also still in flux, but the organization appears to be leaning towards keeping staff as usual through June, per Dan Connolly of The Athletic (via Twitter).
Ya, but what about those women (and an occasional man) who provide a diversion service for ballplayers on the road……I mean, $1200 only goes so far when you’ve got to buy medicines, ointmets, candles, hot wax, and the occasional bullwhip…..
Afraid for your livelihood I see
Padres did layoffs furloughs and pay cuts
Lordy, imagine if Marge Schott we’re still an owner? She’d already be billing the employees for the privilege of continuing to work for her. Some of you under 40 or so may need to look up her name. Worth the read!
I rather enjoyed that thank you. Just finished reading the Sports Illustrated article on her from 96. People like her are not few and far enough between. Also, how the f does a team owner not know there’s a time difference between Cincinnati and Chicago? She would actually be quite amusing if she wasn’t so horrible.
I remember her racist stuff but didn’t know about anything else
And the Mets (Wilpons) are waiting to see what they can get away with….
