If the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the rest of Major League Baseball find a way to have a season in 2020, it will be because both the owners and the players make financial concessions to allow for games to resume. Regardless of any agreement, the battle over finances and player salary will likely extend into the offseason and additional casualties could result.
Before any agreement has been hashed out, we’ve already seen payrolls being slashed by multiple clubs, including the Angels. This has extended from front office employees to minor league players, as teams try to trim payrolls in the wake of the Coronavirus delay and the likelihood of games without fans when the season does resume.
