Back in March, Major League Baseball and the Players Association reached an agreement on service time and prorated salaries for the 2020 regular season, addressing what many believed were the top issues the sides faced.
The deal was completed before March 26, which was the originally scheduled Opening Day of the season. However, in the weeks since, owners have raised over their viability of paying the agreed-upon salaries. Specifically because of the prospect of playing games without fans in attendance.
Team owners have claimed they would lose more money under that scenario as opposed to if the entire 2020 season was cancelled outright.
