Players voted down Major League Baseball’s latest proposal to play a 60-game season.
According to ESPN:
The Major League Baseball Players Association executive board on Monday voted to reject MLB’s 60-game offer with expanded playoffs, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers, putting commissioner Rob Manfred in position to implement a schedule of his choosing — likely between 50 to 60 games.
The vote was 33-5 against, sources said. The MLBPA executive board is comprised of 30 player representatives and an eight-member subcommittee.
The 60-game framework germinated from a meeting last week between Manfred and union executive director Tony Clark.
