As Major League Baseball enters a season with all games postponed, the league and the players' association have divided up the $170 million advance both sides agreed to amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Veteran players will earn a max of $4,775 per day—a total of $286,500—for 60 days as the pool of money is split into four different service time classifications, MLB and the MLB Players Association confirmed to Ronald Blum of the Associated Press.

Blum noted fewer veteran players will receive amounts ranging from $16,500 to $30,000 to $60,000.
