Chances of a 2020 Phillies season took a step in the right direction on Monday.

The MLB and MLB Players Association appear to be finding common ground in their negotiations for a 2020 season, meaning Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi‘s debut in red pinstripes could occur sooner than later.

One day after the players union issued a 114-game counterproposal, the league responded that it intends to propose a shorter season while fulfilling the players’ desire to have full prorated salaries, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
