AP exclusive: MLB vets get $4,775 daily during virus outset - TSN.ca

and other veteran major leaguers will receive $4,775 per day in advance pay for the first 60 days of the season during the stoppage caused by the new coronavirus, a total of $286,500.

The daily total was obtained by The Associated Press after it was confirmed by Major League Baseball and the players' association following their agreement last week on how to proceed during the stoppage. MLB has delayed opening day until mid-May at the earliest, and it remains unclear when or if the season will start.

Money is being split into four classes based on contract status. Young players not yet eligible for salary arbitration have what baseball calls split contracts, with different salaries depending on whether the player is in the major leagues or in the minors. Payments to the more senior players were determined by accounting for the less senior players, then dividing the remainder among players with so-called straight salaries — the same amount in the majors and minors.

Fuck that. If any of those players had Anny sense they would be donating that money. Maybe not all the players but guys have made millions for years. It's time to help the world out.

Still want to argue with me tonythetiger18 that athletes should be paid higher and are worth more than medical professionals? BflisFB

This is not a good thing to post , some families are struggling with a zero income

Healthcare professionals should be making that kind of money, not the fat ass “athletes” of the MLB...

And we wonder why the tickets to events are so expensive.

Seriously that’s fuckin criminal! Regular people have no money to pay rent and they get more a day then many get in a month

Wow what a rough life.

Daily ? Why would you announce that ? People won’t be happy !!

Over 1 Millions Canadians just lost their job with many trying to figure out how to pay the rent today and this is the obnoxious bullshit that you tweet about. TSN should just shut down during this crisis so people don’t have to see shit like this.

Really?

thats a retarded amount of money
