A feud between these sides over economics has been going on for the past half-century.
Yet, what is overlooked in this dispute is the issue of service time.
This is why the union surrendered their right for the players to be paid for a full season, no matter how many games were played, realizing the value of a full year of service time. It was an issue that had owners splintered, with a few believing they were giving up far too much by letting players reach arbitration and free agency a year early, no matter how many games were played.The owners are unified in their belief that the players should take the same 40% reduction in revenue they are incurring playing games without fans.
Here is an example of the salary reduction sliding scale MLB proposed to the union, obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
