After nearly three months of negotiations produced no agreement, Major League Baseball owners and the Players Association exercised their rights gained from their March 26 agreement, putting us closer to a potential 2020 MLB season.
The players will get their pro-rated pay, which they agreed to in March, but first formally rejected the owners’ proposal of a 60-game season on Monday.
“While we had hoped to reach a revised back to work agreement with the league, the Players remain fully committed to proceeding under our current agreement and getting back on the field for the fans, for the game, and for each other,” MLBPA said in a statement.
