Most of the 30 teams have already arranged to pay non-baseball employees through the end of May, with such clubs as the Phillies, Tigers, Rockies, and Padres already committed to avoiding job cuts or furloughs beyond May 31.

However, there is concern and, ?among front-office officials there is an expectation,? that there could be major job losses within baseball operations departments after the draft in June. Scouts could be in particular danger, as some clubs have already made moves in recent years towards relying on video analysis rather than in-person reports for scouting purposes.

As one team executive says ?it just doesn?t make any sense to me that these [teams] need to dump people making $40K, $50K.
Those savings are not difference-making,? even for franchises that will be taking a big revenue hit this season. Such actions are likely to hurt a team?s reputation around the sport, and could impact future chances of hiring or keeping front office personnel in the future.
