ESPN: MLB commissioner Rob Manfred quickly rejects union’s 70-game proposal

The Major League Baseball Players Association on Thursday proposed a 70-game regular-season schedule, a plan immediately rejected by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

In a statement announcing the counterproposal, which included expanded playoffs in 2020 and 2021, MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said: “We believe this offer represents the basis for an agreement on a resumption of play.”

Maybe they should just add two minor league teams and do a 32 team tournament for the World Series championship.

Eff the owners and their greed. Of course, if they weren’t greedy, they would not have gotten into the position they are in now where they are owners so we shouldn’t be surprised.
