Report: MLBPA wants approx. 70-game season. MORE:
It looked like the MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association were headed toward a deal as of midday on Wednesday and while there appears to have been progress made according to multiple reports, nothing is done yet., one of the obstacles remaining in negotiations is the length of the season.
MLB proposed a 60-game season to players on Wednesday but Nightengale reports the union is looking for a season closer to 70 games, leading the optimism of a deal earlier in the day to dissipate a bit. Nightengale adds the extra handful of games would add about $250 million in player salary. A universal DH in both 2020 and 2021 and expanded playoffs for those two seasons are also expected to be included in any deal.. “We left that meeting with a jointly developed framework that we agreed could form the basis of an agreement and subject to conversations with our respective constituents. I summarized that framework numerous times in the meeting and sent Tony a written summary today."Reports of an agreement are false.
