On Monday, the MLB submitted a 76 game proposal for the 2020 season to the players association, and it was quickly rejected. However, on Tuesday, the players association countered with a proposal of their own.

While still requesting prorated salaries, the union sent an 89 game proposal back to the league. This proposal would include an expanded postseason of 16 teams and pool money for players participating in the postseason. As previously agreed upon, players will still have the opportunity to opt-out of the season if they so desire.
