Players Reject MLB's Latest Offer Of 60 Games
4 years agoThe Major League Baseball Players Association voted (33-5 against) on Monday to reject the league's 60-game proposal with expanded playoffs, putting commissioner Rob Manfred in position to implement a schedule of his choosing -- likely between 50 and 60 games. "While we had hoped to reach a revised back-to-work agreement with the league, the players remain fully committed to proceeding under our current agreement and getting back on the field for the fans, for the game, and for each other," the union said in a statement. The players retain their right to file a grievance against MLB by rejecting the league's latest offer. Even if a 50-game season is imposed by Manfred, COVID-19 is threatening to put a wrench into a shortened season.
