The MLBPA has rejected the most recent proposal from MLB on the terms of the 2020 season resuming, and have told MLB they do not intend on issuing a counter-proposal. Instead, the players are telling owners that they need to simply tell the players when to report, and when the season will start, and the players will show up.
The players’ gambit is that, pursuant to the terms of the deal they negotiated in March, which provided that they would be paid on a pro-rated basis for 2020, MLB can dictate unilaterally the start of the season, but must use best efforts to play as many games as possible.
