Good morning afternoon, Athletics Nation! (Sorry, we’ll get back to early morning on the Rumblings ASAP.)
The drama continues in the negotiations between MLB and the players union, regarding the economics of a 2020 season affected by the coronavirus pandemic. When we left off yesterday, the league had sent a proposal to the MLBPA that included heavy salary cuts beyond the ones already agreed to in March, and the players were left “very disappointed” by the offer, perhaps even “livid.”
The union responded on Wednesday, and as expected they were not happy with the league’s proposal.
