MLB and the Players Association (MLBPA) are still negotiating and inching closer towards a deal to play baseball in 2020, after months of negotiations. The union executive committee will likely vote Sunday on the league’s latest 60-game proposal, and a resolution, for better or worse, is expected to come soon. The odds of seeing the New York Mets take the field this year have gone up in the last few days.
The Mets will pay minor leaguers at least through the whole month of August, according to a report from MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
