MLB and the Player’s Association still can’t get on the same page regarding a 2020 season. Yesterday, it was reported that Rob Manfred and Tony Clark had met and the two sides had reached a deal in principle to play a 60-game season, pending approval by their constituents.
The “constituents” – otherwise known as the players – balked. The Player’s Association then issued an adamant denial that an agreement was reached.
More negotiations and frustrations remain, despite the players making a hashtag and homemade t-shirts out of the mantra “tell us when and where”.
In the proposal, the “when” would be July 19 and the where would be home ballparks for an isolated three-week spring training before the start of games.
