Tigers pledge $1M to pay park staff; Comerica, LCA food and beverage workers still await word

Detroit — The Ilitches have pledged another $1 million to help keep employees paid as the coronavirus continues to shut down scores of industries across the country.

This time, the $1 million is for Comerica Park employees, with Major League Baseball and the Tigers delaying the start of the season until mid-May, at the earliest.

Each of MLB's 30 teams committed $1 million to their ballpark employees, commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday.
