MLB TEAMS ASSISTING BALLPARK EMPLOYEES
| JAMES TUBB March 17, 2020 |
The suspension of the MLB season is disappointing for its fans and players, but it’s the ballpark staff that looks after the fans and players that are affected the most. In the midst of the suspension, it’s the players taking care of the staff.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday night that all 30 teams would be committing $30 million - $1 million apiece - to help assist all employees.
Since all of the NBA, NHL and MLB suspended their season in prevention of transmitting the Corona Virus, players and teams have decided to help out the staff who serve them and their fans.
Commissioner Manfred praises the MLB teams in his statement, “I am proud that our clubs came together so quickly and uniformly to support those individuals who provide so much to the game we love.”
With the MLB season delayed until mid-May at the earliest, the next step for the league is to ensure its minor league players get paid while their season is on hold. They have not received a paycheque since the end of last season.
