Report: Players Association Rejects MLB's 60-Game Proposal

The Major League Baseball Players Association rejected MLB's proposal for a 60-game season on Monday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers.

The MLBPA reportedly voted 33-5 to reject MLB's proposal. Commissioner Rob Manfred can now implement a schedule for the 2020 season, which will "likely be between 50 to 60 games."

Owners across MLB could still vote to cancel the 2020 season, per Passan and Rogers. It would take eight "no" votes from the owners in order to cancel the 2020 season.

"Earlier this evening, the full Board reaffirmed the players' eagerness to return to work as soon and as safely as possible.
