Tuesday, the Major League Baseball Players Association received a newly revised economic proposal from MLB.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, MLB is facing a shortened season with massive decreases in revenues expected (no fans in stands, etc.) and somebody, somewhere needs to help eat those deficits. In March, players agreed to take a prorated salary, meaning if only 50 percent of games would be played, they would receive 50 percent of their salaries.
As the situation drag on, however, MLB needed to revisit that March agreement to cover the extreme gaps in revenue. Here, they asked players to accept further cuts, which players were not thrilled to do.
