Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell has added his name to the list of players to speak out against the owners’ proposal for players to take a pay and split diminished revenues for the 2020 season.
Earlier this week the owners approved a plan that would get the 2020 major league season underway in early July. Among a host of changes, the players would enter into a revenue split with the owners to offset the losses if teams were to continue paying players a fully pro-rated salary despite losing more than half of their gate revenues.
