According to multiple sources of the big leagues, the office of MLB and franchise owners have submitted a new proposal to the players union considering a season of 76 games.
This new proposal would include the following points:
- 76 date calendar (closer to what the players wanted)
- Prorated 75% salary (somewhat better than initial owners proposal, although still substantial enough to be a problem in negotiations)
- Regular season would end in September 27
- Playoffs would end in October
- Also in the playoffs there would be a “money bag” to distribute among players (the amount was not specified)
- And there would be no draft pick compensation for anyone signing a free agency player (we didn’t understand how much that adds to the negotiations).
And that would be it.
The proposal in general we believe is a good starting point for negotiations that are supposed to be expedited this week.
There is no more: if the MLB He wants to return soon, he needs to start taking definitive steps towards a solid agreement.
Will this proposal be a good start? They like?
as 1st reported by @karlravechespn source confirms: MLB made MLBPA proposal for 75 pct prorated salaries / 76-game season. No draft pick compensation this offseason if team signs a free agent.
