Baseball players proposed a 70-game regular-season schedule Thursday, leaving the union and management 10 games and about $275 million apart on plans to start the coronavirus-delayed season.
As part of the union proposal, players would wear advertisement patches on their uniforms during all games for the first time in major league history.
After baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred met with Clark in Arizona, MLB said Wednesday that there was a framework for the season. That plan included a 60-game regular-season schedule that would have $1.48 billion in salaries plus a $25 million players' post-season pool, people familiar with that proposal told The Associated Press.
Both MLB and the union proposed starting the season on July 19, and players said it should end Sept. 30, three days later than management. They also would allow MLB to move post-season games this year to neutral sites if needed because of the coronavirus.
