Major League Baseball is discussing a shorter schedule in 2020 in which it would pay members of the Players Association their full prorated salaries, according to sources familiar with the situation. The possibility of a schedule of around 50 games that would start in July has been considered by the league as a last resort in case the two sides can't reach an agreement. The players proposed a 114-game schedule that would cover 70.3 percent of their original salaries on Sunday. The league's first proposal to the union offered an 82-game schedule with significant salary cuts. MLB has pushed for a shorter season because of fears that a second wave of the coronavirus will wipe out a postseason and the revenues that come with it.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
