NEW YORK - A proposal from Major League Baseball to bring back live games would see players' salaries slashed, with higher-earning players taking a bigger hit, ESPN reported on TuesdayMLB and its players’ association are in negotiations to resume games without fans at stadiums after the novel coronavirus outbreak put the 2020 season on hold.
Under the league’s latest proposal, a player making $35 million in annual salary would only earn $7.8 million for the 2020 season, ESPN reported, while a player who earned $1 million would make $434,000.and was reportedly disappointed by the league's proposal. A league spokesman declined to comment on the negotiations and the MLBPA did not respond to a request for comment.
