Nearly three weeks after what should have been the start of Major League Baseball's regular season, commissioner Rob Manfred reportedly assured all full-time employees on Tuesday they would be paid at least through the end of May.

In a memo to MLB staff obtained by ESPN's Jeff Passan, Manfred also announced a 35 percent pay cut for senior staff to help the league make its planned distributions to teams through May.
