MLS, players agree to economic concessions. MORE:
TORONTO — MLS players have approved taking part in a summer tournament in Orlando, agreeing to a"package of economic concessions" for the revamped 2020 season in the process.
The MLS Players Association said in a release Sunday evening that its membership had voted to accept"salary reductions across the entire player pool, reduced team and individual bonuses, and additional concessions to existing and future terms of the CBA." In February, the league and MLSPA agreed to an agreement in principle on a new collective bargaining agreement that covers five seasons from 2020.
A source with knowledge of the talks, not authorized to speak publicly because the negotiations have been private, said in April the league had proposed guaranteeing players 50 per cent of their annual salary if no more games are played this season.
