On Monday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that “more than half the teams in the league” agreed to pay team employees through at least the end of May while the 2020 season remains up in the air. As MLB commissioner Rob Manfred remains optimistic some form of a season will happen, there are still variables and hurdles to work through.
Noticeably absent from Passan’s list were the Dodgers. That changed on Friday when Orange County Register scribe Bill Plunkett reported the club joined the masses.
This relates to persons employed by the team and on payroll, not outside operations such as concessions workers and the like.
