MLB submits 76 game proposal to players union
On Monday, the MLB submitted yet another proposal to the players union about the status of the 2020 season. This proposal called for a 76 game season with 75% prorated salaries, as reported by Karl Ravech. The regular season would start around July 10th and end on September 27th. Included would be playoff pool money and no draft compensation picks for signed players this offseason.
Compared to a 50 game season with prorated salaries, players would be getting around 19% more money in this proposal. However, players seem to be pretty set on full prorated salaries. As Jon Heyman reported, “Players are not thrilled with it. Not at all,”.
