Report: Recent MLB Proposal Includes Pay Cuts to Highest-Paid Players
MLB has proposed decreasing the salaries of the highest-paid players in the sport with the lowest-paid players taking lesser cuts in its recent play-resumption economic proposal to the MLB Players Association, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers.
Per ESPN, the sport's highest-paid players would take significant reductions to what they would be paid during a full season if the plan is approved. The cuts could eventually see highly paid players receive less than 40% of their full-season salaries.
