Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter is indefinitely foregoing his salary due to MLB's coronavirus-related shutdown, sources told Craig Mish of SportsGrid.
Additionally, other team executives have reportedly taken pay cuts.
In a conference call on Monday, Jeter informed the franchise's baseball operations staff that all non-player employees will continue to receive payments through May 31, Mish reported.
On Sunday, it was reported that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred would suspend Uniform Employee Contracts, allowing teams to furlough employees or reduce their pay during the shutdown as of May 1.
The Marlins have joined the San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, and Atlanta Braves in committing to pay non-player staff through the end of May.
