Max Scherzer: MLBPA Has 'No Reason' to Keep Talking Compensation with MLB

Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer expressed his frustration with Major League Baseball's latest economic proposal as the league and its players attempt to reach an agreement to hold a shortened 2020 season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"After discussing the latest developments with the rest of the players there's no reason to engage with MLB in any further compensation reductions. We have previously negotiated a pay cut in the version of prorated salaries, and there's no justification to accept a 2nd pay cut based upon the current information the union has received."

He also said other players have expressed a similar sentiment.
