Rob Manfred -- the most powerful man in baseball -- is taking a multi-million dollar salary cut as MLB struggles with the massive financial blow dealt by coronavirus.
The MLB honcho -- along with other top league execs -- are reportedly taking a giant 35% haircut on their checks ... 'cause no baseball means no revenue.
Manfred is rumored to make around $11 million a year ... so a 35% cut is almost $4 million a year.
The bright side? Even though the baseball season is suspended, the league is committed to paying all other employees their full salary through the end of May.
