Negotiations between Major League Baseball and the MLBPA returned to the headlines on Monday, as the league made its latest counterproposal for a 2020 season. The proposed terms for a potential first season for the Phillies under manager Joe Girardi, first reported by ESPN’s Karl Ravech, are as follows:
- A 75 percent prorated salary
- 76 game season
- Playoff pool money
- No draft pick compensation for signing players for the first time in 45 years
- The regular season would begin around July 10 and conclude September 27; the postseason would conclude at the end of October.
