Despite weeks of negotiating between Major League Baseball and the Players Association, it does not seem that the two sides are close to an agreement on the 2020 regular season.
The players have made it clear they want full prorated salaries, as was agreed to in March, but they also want a long enough season to determine a legitimate champion. The owners, on the other hand, are trying to save as much money as possible and are only willing to pay full prorated salaries for a shorter season of around 50 games.
In the MLBPA’s latest proposal, it called for an 89-game season with full prorated salaries.
