Major League Baseball will allow teams to begin laying off non-player personnel beginning May 1, but the Giants plan to continue paying their baseball operations staff.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred suspended the uniform employee contract on Monday. Doing so allows teams to furlough staff, including both major and minor league managers, as well as coaches, trainers, scouts and, in some instances, general managers.
About 9000 people are covered under the contract, ESPN notes.
ESPN's Jeff Passan wrote that the Giants are among 20 teams that have already pledged to continue paying their baseball operations people through the month of May.
