One day after receiving an offer for a 60-game season at full prorated pay, the Major League Baseball players association countered with a 70-game proposal Thursday.
"We believe this offer represents the basis for an agreement on resumption of play," MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said in a released statement.

MLB owners are so upset by the players’ counterproposal — which is said for about $300M more — that no response is expected to be immediate. Time is obviously getting short so hopefully it’s not too long, of course.
