(CBSNewYork)- The negotiations between Major League Baseball and the Players Association are ongoing, but the owners reportedly introduced a new proposal for salary changes in a potential shortened season.
According to USA Today Sports insider Bob Nightengale, the proposed plan has shifted from a potential 50-50 revenue split to one that would see a “sliding scale of compensation” for players in the shortened season. The plan would see players paid a prorated percentage of their salaries, the highest paid players taking the biggest potential cuts. ESPN’s Jeff Passan laid out what the scale would look like.
