Major League Baseball and the Players Association have been at odds for several weeks over interpretation of a March 26 agreement and more specifically, an economic plan for the 2020 regular season.
The union has continued to insist on receiving full prorated salaries that were agreed to in March. Team owners have claimed such a financial commitment is not feasible due to the likelihood games will not have fans in attendance.
The two sides have also disagreed over the length of a season. MLB reportedly is concerned over a possible second wave of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the fall and therefore want to conclude the regular season by Sept.
