Rob Manfred Has ‘Great Confidence’ MLB, Players Association Will Reach Economic Agreement

After weeks of speculation that saw an array of possibilities made public, Major League Baseball team owners reached an agreement this week on a proposal for the 2020 regular season.

Although early indications had MLB eyeing a centralized location or two, the league shifted gears and now is eyeing staging Spring Training 2.0 and regular-season games at home ballparks. No matter the setting, of course, fans generally are not expected to be in attendance this year.

That likelihood prompted owners to seek a 50-50 revenue split, which the Players Association thus far has maintained is a nonstarter.
