MLB Proposes Delayed 154-Game Season with Full Pay, Expanded Playoffs
According to Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports, MLB has submitted a proposal to the players union for a 154-game season that would start a month later and extend a week longer than currently scheduled. Players would receive full pay and the postseason would be expanded again, though perhaps not with the 16-team format we saw in 2020.
MLB on Friday proposed to the union a 154-game schedule with full pay, delayed by a month and extended by a week, sources say. Also, with expanded postseason. Union considering.
