According to Evan Drellich of The Athletic, the MLB Players Association has delivered its counter-proposal to the league following the joke of a sliding scale owners presented last Tuesday. Under that doomed concept, players would have been paid less than a quarter of their aggregate full-season salaries even if more than half the season was played.
As Drellich summarized on Twitter, the players are asking for a 114-game season that would run from June 30 through October 31 and include expanded playoffs this year and next. Though it might first seem strange to expand the postseason in 2021 as well, this is pretty clearly an appeal to the owners, who stand to generate a great deal of revenue from such a plan.
