Major League Baseball’s owners and players clearly do not view the path back to the 2020 season the same way. It’s almost as if they’re seeing things through different eyes, as Max Scherzer made clear in a strongly-worded tweet Wednesday evening. Some initially read it as though the heterochromic righty was saying the MLBPA wouldn’t negotiate at all, but he simply meant they’d make no further concessions on salary given the information on hand.
“After discussing the latest developments with the rest of the players there’s no reason to engage with MLB in any further compensation reductions,” Scherzer’s statement read.
