MLB rejects the 114 game proposal from players union

On Wednesday, the MLB officially rejected the players union proposal of a 114 game season in 2020. Instead, the league is leaning towards either a 48-to-54 game season with prorated salaries, or an 82-or-so game season with less than prorated salaries.

Between the two options, you’ll likely see more players lean towards an 82-game season. That’s if they are getting paid more than they would get paid in a 50-or-so game season. The season would have opt-outs for players who choose not not play for any reason. However, only those classified as “high risk” would recieve play. For example, if someone doesn’t play because they have immunocomprimised children, then they would get paid.
