As other professional sports leagues announce return-to-play plans, Major League Baseball and the Players Association remain at odds over an economic plan for the 2020 regular season.
The two sides originally struck an agreement in March that guaranteed players full prorated salaries, but team owners have reopened negotiations due to the likelihood that fans won’t be able to attend games this year.
The union, adamant they won’t take further pay cuts, recently pitched a 114-game regular season to MLB that would allow players to earn full prorated salaries. Team owners declined, and they reportedly have no intention to submit a counter.
