When Major League Baseball temporarily suspended operations in March due to concerns over the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many players were left in a state of uncertainty.
That includes Minor Leaguers, who were the first to be sent home from camps. While a season doesn’t appear likely for them, most teams have guaranteed they will be compensated through the end of August.
Players on non-guaranteed contracts were also notably affected. However, those that are ultimately left off 40-man rosters will receive a period of termination pay, as part of the March 26 agreement between MLB and the Players Association.
