The MLBPA has requested that MLB release financial documents in the midst of a hangup between the two sides about a potential return to play during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has delayed the start of the 2020 MLB season.

Ronald Blum of the Associated Press broke the news:

"Baseball owners on Monday approved a proposal that could lead to the coronavirus-delayed season starting around the Fourth of July with a regular-season schedule of about 82 games. Owners also gave the go-ahead to propose basing players' salaries on a a 50-50 revenue split, which the union says is a salary cap and a framework players will never agree to.
