Assuming the sides are close on health and safety protocols, including widespread testing, financial matters likely will be the deciding factor. MLB has proposed a tiered system of salary cuts that penalizes the higher-paid players more than the lesser-paid players. The players contend they agreed to accept prorated salaries in March when a deal was struck to give them a lump sum of $170 million, plus service time, in the event of a canceled season. They currently are holding their ground. The owners contend they will lose money without fans and would thus need deeper pay cuts, but the union isn’t buying it. “The players said we only want to get paid for the games we play,” one source said. “The owners said: ‘Yes, sir, I’ll take that deal.’ So to suggest we’re going to negotiate from something we already negotiated, we already gave up that consideration.” Max Scherzer, a member of the union’s executive subcommittee, said there is “no reason to engage with MLB in any further reductions.” Case closed?
