Major League Baseball is guaranteeing pay to all full-time employees of its main office through May.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred sent a memo to league employees Tuesday that the senior staff will be taking a large pay cut and pay would be guaranteed through at least May due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The senior staff will reduce their pay by an average of 35% to maintain employee wages.
