5 years agoMLB's latest return-to-play proposal has left the Players Association frustrated and increased the likelihood of commissioner Rob Manfred instituting a shortened season without input from the union, according to sources familiar with the situation. Dan Halem, the deputy commissioner, accused the players' union of causing "enormous damage to the sport" with its negotiating posture. The rift between the two sides remains large, with the players intent on receiving a full prorated share of their salaries, regardless of the number of games played. The league has increased potential prorated shares from 70 percent to 75 percent to 80 percent in their proposals while dropping the number of games from 82 to 76 to 72, leading players to accuse the league of making the same offer in different packaging. The league's proposal from Friday will not be accepted by the players. The players are entrenched in their position on full prorated pay, while the league is similarly entrenched in the season ending on Sept. 27. Each day the two sides continue to go back and forth without an agreement lessens the potential length of a 2020 season.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
