Nobody is getting any live sports right now and yet cable providers are still charging consumers for them. The consumers are left with huge bills they can not do anything about.
Four of the six California teams have informed all employees that potential job cuts are coming. The Giants did not send any notices to full-time employees and the Athletics did not send any notices out to their employees.
The Yankees set up a $1.4 million “distress fund” for their employees but it is set aside only for workers who meet certain criteria.
Major League Baseball is just like the rest of us right now by trying to get their work done virtually. Specifically they are using an app that can track progress throughout their systems.
