The Tampa Bay Times reported Thursday that
dozens of full-time staff members will be furloughed effective
Saturday. It is expected that less than half of the team's
estimated 400 to 500 full-time employees will be furloughed, but
their time out of work could be lengthy.
While MLB reportedly is targeting a return date by July 4, that
doesn't mean all Rays staff will return once games resume. If
games are played at a neutral site or without fans, staff
members of the ticketing department wouldn't come back to work,
for example.
Further south in Miami, the Marlins will be furloughing about
one-third of their business operations staff beginning by
mid-May, the Miami Herald reported.
CEO Derek Jeter said on April 20 that he is forgoing his
reported $5 million salary indefinitely.
