A baseball on the grass at the Cincinnati Reds baseball spring training facility in Goodyear, Ariz., on Feb. 17, 2017. NEW YORK -- Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says there is "100%" chance of big league ball this year.
The players' association made its second proposal Tuesday, asking for an 89-game regular season and 100% of prorated salaries. MLB's plan a day earlier was for a 76-game season, would guarantee 50% of prorated salaries and hinge 25% in additional money on the post-season's completion.MLB has threatened a shorter schedule if players insist on 100% of their prorated salaries.
"I would prefer to negotiate a new agreement with the MLBPA that gets us more games and resolves the issues that have separated us amicably," Manfred said Wednesday on an interview with ESPN before that network's coverage of the amateur draft. "But at the end of the day, we negotiated for the right in March to start the season on a number of games that we select in these particular circumstances. And if we have to, we'll exercise that right.
