On Tuesday, Major League Baseball submitted its first proposal to its Players Association for how to compensate players for the 2020 season. While the proposal did not include revenue sharing, MLB's tiered salary structure was not received well by union and, by late Wednesday night, and it appeared to be dead on arrival.
MLBPA alternate rep and Nationals union rep Max Scherzer went to Twitter to say players have "no reason to engage with MLB in any further compensation reductions."
Scherzer added that he believes "MLB's economic strategy would completely change if all documentation were to become public information."
