Rob Manfred was bullish on the league and players’ union reaching an agreement to restart the 2020 season when he spoke with ESPN Wednesday afternoon, which is a small but significant change from the bullshit he and the owners have been spewing to this point. Manfred told Karl Ravech he is “100%” certain there will be a season, citing a “responsive proposal” to counter the MLBPA’s most recent offer.
What exactly that entails we won’t know for a little while yet, but I’d like to think 75 games at full prorated pay gets it done.
