MLB has once again made a proposal to the Players Association for a 2020 season. After the two sides were far apart in initial proposals — with the players wanting full prorated salaries for more than 100 games, and the owners wanting the players to take massive, tiered paycuts for an 82-game season — MLB attempted to bridge the gap.
Wait, no, that’s not right. MLB attempted to make it look like they were bridging the gap. Yes, that’s more accurate.
The league’s counter proposal is for a 76-game season with 75% of the prorated salaries, and postseason compensation.
