Red Sox to pay their minor league players $400 a week through end of August

The Red Sox will pay all of their minor league players $400 a week for the duration of what would have been their season, according to major league sources. Major League Baseball previously had committed to supporting all minor leaguers through the end of May, but left it to teams to extend payments beyond that date. All minor leaguers in the Red Sox system who aren’t covered by a major league contract — meaning those who aren’t on the 40-man roster — will receive the $400 weekly stipend.
