Jeter, who was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in January, earns a $5 million salary from the Marlins. The retired shortstop became part-owner of the Marlins in 2017. The team on Monday informed its baseball operations employees they would receive their current rate of pay through the end of next month — and that members of the organization’s executive team have also taken pay cuts.
This comes a day after reports surfaced — including from The Post’s Joel Sherman — that MLB commissioner Rob Manfred was planning to suspend Uniform Employee Contracts (UEC), which would allow teams to furlough employees or cut salaries.
