Amid the coronavirus pandemic, Major League Baseball teams are releasing hundreds of minor leaguers. This is because many owners don’t want to pay minor league salaries and releasing them to save money.
This is disheartening and brutal for so many players with so much yet to come. The releases could be the end of many players’ careers before they even had a shot to prove themselves.
Many teams like the Dodgers and Mets are paying all minor leaguers through June, while organizations like the Marlins and Padres are paying players through August.
