The Philadelphia Phillies committed to paying all full-time employees their full salaries through May amid the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Phillies managing partner and principal owner John Middleton informed team employees of the decision Friday via email.
Also, the Phillies donated $1 million to part-time employees, and many of them were given stipends Friday.
The Phillies are the second MLB franchise to commit to paying their full-time employees through May. All 30 MLB teams previously agreed to pay their employees through at least April, and the Atlanta Braves became the first to guarantee salaries through May.
