Belief is, both sides will compromise, MLB from the 50-50 revenue sharing split idea they like and players union from prorated pay for players over 82 games.
MLB club figures suggest they’ll lose big $ this year in any scenario. Even in extreme hypothetical of playing 82 games and paying players zero, owners say they lose $1.5-2B. Players counter saying teams had made big $ every year .Heyman also tweets that clubs' figures suggest they will lose big money this year in any scenario, even if they were to play 82 games and not pay players any salary at all. Owners say they will lose $1.

A March agreement between the MLB and MLBPA established a framework for a shortened 2020 season but does not directly account for revenue lost as a result of fans not being able to attend games, which owners say accounts for roughly 40 per cent of their revenue.
Opening Day was originally scheduled for March 26 before the coronavirus pushed back the start of the season indefinitely.
