The Detroit Tigers will indefinitely pay minor league players a weekly $400 stipend to offset any coronavirus pandemic cancellations and have yet to make individual cuts, a team spokesperson told the Free Press on Monday night.
The weekly stipend has no end date at this time, the spokesperson said.
Minor league clubs make most of their money through ticket sales, which hasn't been possible during the COVID-19 outbreak. The season has yet to begin, and there's a good chance minor league clubs not play at all this season.
