Report: MLB Won't Counter Players' Offer of 70-Game Season

A day after the MLB Players Association sent a proposal to league owners for a 70-game 2020 season, it appears the league has had enough of back-and-forth negotiations.

MLB has told the players union that it will not make a counteroffer, according to Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic. The league is now discussing options with the owners and could try to implement a season in the 50-game range. Its last offer to the players included a 60-game season.

In that offer, the 2020 season would have begun on July 19 or 20 and be completed in 70 days.
