Report: MLB's Salary Proposal Would Save Yankees, Astros, Dodgers $100M Each

MLB's proposed plan to begin the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic would help some of its richest teams save millions of dollars.

The New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros would each save more than $100 million on player salaries, according to Ronald Blumof the Associated Press.

On March 26, the MLB Players Association said its members would accept prorated salaries for a shortened campaign, but it has resisted proposals from MLB to change to a revenue-sharing plan or take any further pay cuts.
