After commissioner Rob Manfred said a couple of days ago that he wasn’t confident there would be a season in 2020, MLB owners made a renewed offer to the players’ association that includes full prorated salary.
While the MLBPA said via Twitter that reports of an agreement already being in place were false, it is clear that there is now light at the end of the tunnel and the overall landscape is much better than yesterday.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, MLB’s newest proposal includes 60 games to be played in a span of 70 days, with the MLB season starting either on July 19 or July 20.
