Report: MLBPA Exec Committee Expected to Reject MLB's 60-Game Proposal

The Major League Baseball Players Association's eight-person union executive subcommittee is reportedly expected to reject the league's proposal for a 60-game regular season.

Jon Heyman of MLB Network reported the news Saturday, noting the group's decision to reject the idea would potentially clear the way for commissioner Rob Manfred to unilaterally set a shorter schedule as the two sides continue to search for an agreement.

Heyman also noted olorado Rockies infielders Daniel Murphy may be a "possible dissenter," which would prevent the subcommittee from unanimously rejecting the 60-game proposal.
