Are we any closer to a 2020 MLB season? Answering questions about new 76-game proposal

Major League Baseball made an updated proposal for the 2020 MLB season to its players' union on Monday, moving to have a 76-game season with players getting 75% of their prorated salaries that includes eliminating draft-pick compensation for free agents for a year, a $200 million postseason pool for the players and a postseason that ends no later than Oct. 31.

How much likelier does today's plan make it that there will be an agreement to play baseball this summer? Is a 50-game season better than a 76-game campaign? What are the biggest sticking points of this latest proposal?
