Another week, another proposal about restarting baseball between Major League Baseball and the players union — and another reason to think neither side is any closer to finding common ground.
If the whole thing is starting to feel very familiar, it’s with good reason. The two sides appear to be going round and round without any drastic changes. The numbers might change — 48 games vs. 76 games, this percentage vs. that percentage — but when you boil it down, there’s not a lot of budging on either side.
The latest proposal from MLB came Monday: A 76-game season for which players would be paid up to 75 percent of their prorated salaries.
