The COVID-19 pandemic has created a halt in our world which has never been seen during this current generation. On what would have been Major League Baseball‘s opening day, the MLB and Players Association agreed on how the upcoming shortened season will be handled.
According to Ken Rosenthal, players will receive $170 million in advance to spread over two months. The future salaries will be pro-rated on the number of games played in the abbreviated 2020 season. The deal should be completed Friday and it will also put roster moves on hold. This is why the Mets were actively trimming their roster over the last week.
