Executive Director Tony Clark of the Major League Baseball players union said Thursday that players won't take another pay cut and "resoundingly rejected' the league's plan to start the coronavirus-delayed season that includes further concessions from players.
MLB had proposed an 82-game season with a sliding scale of pay cuts, and the players countered with a 114-game season with no cuts beyond the pro-rated salaries they agreed to in March. The league in turn rejected that, and said there may instead only be some 50 games.
