Angels to pay employees through May amid coronavirus shutdown

Rather than take cost-cutting measures as they wait to find out the fate of the Major League Baseball season, the Angels on Tuesday informed baseball operations employees they would continue to be paid through the end of May.

That group includes general manager Billy Eppler and his assistants, manager Joe Maddon and his MLB coaching staff and those in coaching positions in the minor leagues. Year-round employees will be compensated with full wages, said a person close to the situation.

The Angels announced Sunday the club had begun to distribute one-time payments totaling more than $1.
