After the players declined the owner’s latest proposal, it appears negotiations are over. The next step for the MLB and the Padres is a 50-game season.
This negotiation process for MLB’s return-to-play could potentially be an early glimpse of what the Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations look like after the 2021 season.

On Saturday, the players formally rejected the owners’ proposal and indicated that no counteroffer would be sent back.
