Major League Baseball has sent a new proposal to the MLB Players Association, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Wednesday.
No deal is done, but with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA executive director Tony Clark having met recently, this is seen as significant progress considering where the parties were a few days ago.
MLB has made three proposals to start the 2020 season and the players' union two, and the sides remain about $1 billion apart in guaranteed salary. Players were set to earn $4 billion in salaries before the coronavirus outbreak began.
The union cut off talks Saturday, a day after MLB's last proposal, and said additional negotiations were futile.
