MLB teams cut hundreds with minor league season in doubt - Fox News

Major League Baseball teams have released hundreds of young players with the minor league season in doubt due to the coronavirus pandemic.

EX-METS MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS RIPS ORGANIZATION, TAKES SUBTLE JAB AT TIM TEBOW UPON RELEASE.

The start of the minor league season was postponed in March and players were mostly sent home from spring training.

The Chicago White Sox were among the clubs to make cuts, but they will continue to pay $400 per week to the 25 players released last week.

Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore said the Royals will not release any minor leaguers amid the pandemic and will continue providing the $400 per week allowances.

It's not unusual for big league teams to release minor leaguers at this time of year.

It's unclear if more minor league players are being released this season than normal.
