MLB donating $30 million to ballpark employees during coronavirus pandemic

Rob Manfred

Major League Baseball’s 30 teams are stepping up to help ballpark employees out of work due to the season being on hold.

Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday that each of the 30 MLB clubs will kick in $1 million to pay ballpark employees.

Those workers otherwise would not have been paid, so the league is stepping up in a big way. It’s similar to what several NBA players have been doing for arena staff, but this is a far more cooperative effort.

MLB season is still weeks away in the best-case scenario. Hopefully these teams are committed to funding this effort until the games start.
