ESPN: MLB Proposes 76-Game Season

The MLB season's start has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A proposal obtained by ESPN suggests paying players 75% of their prorated salary for a shortened season, with plans to start in early July. However, the MLB Players Association is not satisfied, leading to stalled negotiations. The league aims to conclude the regular season by September 27th and the postseason by October's end. Initial proposals included an 82-game season, countered by the Players Association's 114-game proposal, which was declined. The two parties missed the June deadline for a July 4th return, and MLB awaits a formal response from the Players Association.
