The two warring factions in the ongoing dispute between Major League Baseball and its players appear to be making progress on a plan to save what’s left of the 2020 season.
According to several reports Wednesday, Commissioner Rob Manfred and Tony Clark, head of the MLB players union, had productive meetings that laid the groundwork for a possible settlement.
According to Ken Rosenthal, MLB’s proposal to the union calls for a 60-game season that would run through the last week in September, with players earning their full prorated salaries. The season would end with an expanded playoff format, and players would waive the right to file a grievance.
