The Texas Rangers are the first known team not to commit to paying baseball-operations employees through the end of May, sources tell ESPN. They are committed through May 15 — and that’s after top executives took a significant pay reduction.

Follow-up on the Rangers: A source says the team will have no layoffs or furloughs of employees through the end of May. The letter sent to employees said: “If business conditions require us to make salary adjustments more broadly, that step would be taken no earlier than May 15.”
