Players Union Unlikely To Accept MLB's Latest Proposal (76-Game Season, 50% Of Prorated Salaries (75% If Postseason Is Completed))

MLB's latest proposal for the 2020 season is a 76-game regular season with players receiving 50 percent of their prorated salaries (75% if a full postseason is played). MLB has junked its plan of a sliding scale of salary reductions.

The Post reports:

The Players Association did not comment publicly, but ... views this as taking a substantial risk by being guaranteed just half its prorated pay and needing a full postseason just to get half of the remaining 50 percent at a time when it still does not believe the owners will suffer the losses that MLB is claiming.
