are planning to be able to play at the Rogers Centre in Toronto or the club’s spring training facility in Dunedin, Fla., depending on the circumstances.
Rosenthal says that the schedule would be regionalized with teams facing clubs within their division and from the same geographic division in the opposite league. In that scenario, for example, teams in the American League East would face their own division plus teams in the National League East. He adds that a 78-game schedule would have four three-game series against each division opponent and two three-game series against each non-division opponent.
When it comes to the playoffs, Rosenthal says that the league will propose an extended post-season with seven teams per league instead of five. The teams with the best record in the American League and National League will receive a bye into the Division Series. The two other division winners and the wild card with the best record would face the bottom three wild cards in a best-of-three series.
Finally, Rosenthal reports the league will ask the players to further reduce their pay for the season and accept a revenue-sharing plan — for the 2020 campaign only — due to the lack of ticket revenue. This is said to be causing some friction between the two sides. In March, the players agreed to be paid a prorated salary in the case of a shortened season but MLB says teams would operate at a loss if they paid each player their salary for games in empty stadiums. The union, according to Rosenthal, will need to see proof of this before agreeing to any alternative compensation plan.
YUP...and now the billionaire owners and millionaire players will be conducting 'war' about salaries and cuts. LOL, LOL and they claim to be soooo concerned about the folks that make their bloated salaries and profits reality. These folks should become congressmen or senators.
Not going to play. Players already rumbling about player safety and u think there gonna agree to a pay cut? No chance
Fingers crossed, I need some sports soon. Hopefully there can be a resolution where the game's can begin safely.
