Locked-out Major League Baseball players are starting a $1 million fund to support workers impacted by canceled games.
In addition, Major League Baseball will also be setting up a fund for impacted workers, a source told ESPN.
The players' association on Friday said the fund will be administered by the union and the AFL-CIO. It will be distributed to stadium workers and others experiencing financial hardship caused by baseball's ninth work stoppage, which was in its 93rd day.
Details of the fund being set up by MLB have yet to be announced.
