While the latest league proposal was rejected by the MLBPA, a unanimous vote by MLB owners has given commissioner Rob Manfred the ability to impose a schedule.
Commissioner authority could prove to be more definitive than owner and player negotiations, but concerns over the coronavirus still exist. The league is reportedly asking players for approval on health measures, just days after spring training venues were temporarily closed.
ESPN’s Jesse Rogers tweeted on Monday that the player vote for the latest 60-game proposal was “33-5 against.” Of those five votes in favor, a vote from Colorado’s representation was reportedly one of them.
