Jeff Passan on MLB: 'There has been no progress'. MORE:
Originally, it was expected MLB would begin its shortened 2020 season in early July should it have been deemed safe to play. But multiple reports indicated last week a return date that soon is now impossible given the fact the MLB and Major League Baseball Players Association have not been able to come to an agreement on an economic structure for a shortened season.
In fact, Passan says the most recent proposal from the MLB – a 76-game regular season that pays players 75 per cent of their prorated salaries should the league complete a postseason – is essentially the same thing as the 50-50 revenue split they were thinking of proposing approximately one month ago. The league never officially made the proposal knowing it would be instantly shot down following comments made by union head Tony Clark and superagent Scott Boras.
The most recent proposal the union sent to the league included a 114-game regular season with full prorated salaries and two seasons of expanded playoffs.
