In what has been a whirlwind of a week for Major League Baseball, most around the industry viewed commissioner Rob Manfred’s meeting with Players Association executive director Tony Clark as a step in the right direction.
The productive sit-down led to MLB submitting another offer to the union just days after Manfred walked back a previous guarantee that some form of a 2020 season would be played.
The latest proposal from the league ensured that players would be paid full prorated salaries over a 60-game regular season, with the possibility of earning more through an expanded postseason.
