The Cincinnati Reds joined numerous MLB teams forced to furlough staff and enact pay cuts for remaining employees on Thursday due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has prevented the 2020 MLB regular season from beginning.

ESPN's Jeff Passan broke the news:

Other MLB teams have enacted furloughs and pay cuts in recent days.

Per an ESPN report on Wednesday, the Miami Marlins plan to furlough 90-100 employees beginning on June 1. Members of the executive team also took pay cuts, and CEO Derek Jeter will not take his salary.
