The Washington Nationals will pay their minor league players $400 per week through the month of June after previously saying they would cut the stipend to $300 per week.
"Upon further internal discussion, you will receive your full stipend of $400 per week through the month of June. We will consider future payments on a month to month basis. Thank you!" a text message sent from the Nationals to minor league players read, per the Associated Press (via ESPN).
The Nationals' decision came a day after reliever Sean Doolittle said the team's major league players were planning to cover the $100-per-week reduction in pay.
