The Major League Baseball Players Association submitted a counterproposal to team owners this week, addressing salary concerns and the length of a potential 2020 regular season.
The union circled back to a previous agreement between both sides on March 26, asking that players receive a full prorated salaries this year. It was in response to team owners requesting that players take further pay cuts based on a sliding scale.
What’s more, the MLBPA also pitched the possibility of a 114-game regular season that would begin on June 30 and end Oct. 31. To fit that many contests in a 124-day span will require creativity and many sacrifices.
