Major League Baseball has offered players 80% of their prorated salaries and a 72-game schedule starting July 14 in an effort to start the pandemic-delayed season, according to details of the proposal the Associated Press obtained.
Players would get 70% of their prorated salaries during the regular season and the rest for completion of the postseason under MLB’s plan, which was given to the union Friday.
MLB proposed that players be guaranteed about $1.25 billion in salaries, earn an additional $200 million if the postseason is completed plus a $50 million postseason players' pool even if no tickets are sold.
