On Tuesday, MLB presented to its players a plan that would see MLB reopen spring training camps in June but reportedly cost Buster Posey and other star players on the SF Giants millions of dollars.
Players expected if they only played 82 games in a season, they'd only receive about half their salary. Per reporting from ESPN's Jeff Passan and others, the agreement players are being asked to accept goes far beyond that for the highest-paid stars.
Passan reported that MLB's agreement is graduated, with lowest paid players receiving most of their prorated contract while higher-paid players taking far steeper cuts.
