Five days after Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred insisted there was a "100%" chance of a 2020 season, he told ESPN on Monday that he's "not confident" there will be games played this year.

The Players Association appeared to end economic negotiations Saturday evening and told Manfred to order players to work.

Apparently, Manfred's response could be shutting down the entire sport.
