The Los Angeles Dodgers already were among a handful of teams who had already committed to continue paying Minor League players during the coronavirus (COVID-19) shutdown, and now Major League Baseball made that a mandate across the board.
MLB announced a league-wide initiative that established uniform compensation for Minor Leaguers, covering the period between present time and the originally scheduled start of their season — April 8.
Each player who is signed to a Minor League contract will receive a lump sum equal to the allowances that would have been paid through their Spring Training camp.
