On Tuesday afternoon, Major League Baseball will present the players association with a proposal to start the 2020 season. In addition to addressing schedule and travel logistics amid the coronavirus crisis, the new plan asks players to agree to a 50/50 share of revenue for this season only. Without in-stadium revenue, at least at first, this likely amounts to a serious pay cut for the players — one that the union has publicly said it will not abide.
The MLBPA will cite a March 26 agreement to prorate salaries for the season based on the number of regular season games.
