Report: Marlins to Furlough Up to 100 Team Employees

The Miami Marlins will furlough 90 to 100 of their employees temporarily beginning on June 1, according to ESPN.

The move will impact 40% of Miami's baseball operations staff. Employees' furlough status will be evaluated monthly, and their health benefits will continue through the end of October.

The move comes weeks after Marlins chief executive officer Derek Jeter announced he would be forgoing his salary on an indefinite basis while baseball is shut down. Other team executives agreed to take pay cuts, while the entire baseball operations staff had their salaries guaranteed through at least May 31.
