Two Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers will not be paid again this season.
In a quirk of how the finances work for the upcoming MLB season, Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers Ross Stripling and Jimmy Nelson will not receive another paycheck this season.
According to the Associated Press, there are 11 major leaguers whose pro-rated pay for the upcoming season is less than their portion of the $170 million advance in salaries paid by MLB based on agreement back in March that also set the stage for commissioner Rob Manfred to implement a 60-game schedule without negotiating a new financial framework with the players.
