The NBA became the latest professional sports league to announce a return-to-play sports plan this week, leaving Major League Baseball as the only one still attempting to put together a blueprint for a 2020 regular season.
After team owners requested that players take additional pay cuts based on a sliding scale, the union countered with full prorated salaries and a 114-game regular season.
MLB rejected that proposal and reportedly has no intention to re-engage in discussions. They could now look to impose a 50-to-60 game regular season without necessarily coming to an agreement with the union on an economics plan.
