The Phillies will pay their minor leaguers through at least June.
The Philadelphia Phillies have already stood out as being among the first teams in professional sports to make a long-term commitment to their full-time employees.
Now, they are doing the same for their minor-league players.
On Friday, NBC Sports Philadelphia reported that the Phillies have likewise committed to pay their minor-league players through at least the end of June; they earned $400 per week in April and May.
