Players Union To Reject MLB's Latest Proposal
4 years agoThe MLB Players Union, according to sources, plans to reject the league's latest offer of a 76-game schedule in which the players would receive 75 percent of their prorated salaries for the regular season if the playoffs are completed and 50 percent if the postseason is canceled. However, the likelihood that baseball is played in 2020 is increasing, although it may consist of a season as short as around 50 games if the two sides can't reach a middle ground. MLB also wants players to sign an acknowledgement of risk waiver that would eliminate the league of responsibility if any players were to have health complications because of COVID-19. There is still much to be worked out between both sides, and they are running out of time if a season is to start in early July.
