Report: MLB Proposes 72-Game Season to Start July 14

MLB has sent its latest proposal to the MLB Players Association for a 72-game season, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports the proposal includes players receiving 70% of their prorated salaries for the regular season and 80% if the postseason is completed. The regular season would start on July 14 and end on Sept. 27, and teams would be allowed to have 29-man rosters for the first month.

Nightengale adds that MLB set a deadline for the players union to reach a decision on the proposal by Sunday night.
