Minor League Baseball cuts hundreds of players amid pandemic, sources say

Hundreds of minor league baseball players were cut Thursday and hundreds more are expected to lose their jobs as the sport grapples with the near certainty that the minor league season will be canceled, sources told ESPN.

Team officials said a vast majority of the players likely would have been released toward the end of spring training even if baseball hadn't been halted by the coronavirus pandemic, according to sources. But the cuts en masse, which could wind up numbering more than 1,000, nevertheless reverberated around the game, sources said. Released players expressed fear that their careers would be over, and those whose teams hadn't yet made cuts prepared for a tenuous next few days, sources said.

In recent weeks, owners of minor league teams have begun laying off front-office and gameday workers and citing the cancellation of the season as the reason, according to sources. Minor League Baseball has not officially canceled its season, according to a spokesperson, though the suspension of the Professional Baseball Agreement that governs its relationship with Major League Baseball precludes big league organizations from providing players to its minor league affiliates.

it’s funny reading about how minor league salaries are so trivial and almost every team is like “nah fuck y’all”

MLBPA stands firm against additional pay cuts, 'resoundingly' rejects league's plan

Major League Baseball players will not take another pay cut and have "resoundingly rejected" the league's plan to begin the season, according to a statement Thursday from union executive director Tony Clark.

The statement came after a two-hour conference call of the association's executive board and several other Major League Baseball Players Association player leaders and one day after the league rejected a proposal from the players to play 114 games with full prorated salaries.

I think the thing I hate the most about all this bullshit is the Astros basically getting away with their cheating and the punishment not even going to matter because the 2020 season isn’t going to happen.
