An MLB economic forecast projects the Dodgers would lose $232 million in earnings by playing the 2020 season without fans and without 50/50 revenue split.
Major League Baseball presented a grim economic outlook this week in making their case for a 50/50 revenue split among owners and players for the 2020 season.
According to a document presented to the player’s union, and obtained by the Associated Press, MLB owners believe playing an 82-game season in empty ballparks and with players earning a pro-rated salary based on the number of games played will result in $4 billion in losses and would disproportionately give players 89 percent of league revenue.
