ESPN: Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred reportedly met with Tony Clark - the Players’ Association leader—on Tuesday and Wednesday, and according to Ken Rosenthal, the league’s latest proposal includes full prorated pay for players and 60 games in 70 days. In addition, the offer also comes with expanded playoffs in 2020 and 2021 and the MLBPA would waive any potential grievance. There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel after all, as the players’ are expected to seriously consider this offer, but there’s still some work to be done.

Per Jayson Stark, the players are expected to try to bring the number of games played to 66 for various reasons.
