\n Major League Baseball\u2019s powers have proven about as productive as New York City\u2019s government during this shutdown. In their defense, however, at least there\u2019s an explanation behind that:<\/p>\n

They hate each other\u2019s guts.<\/p>\n

Multiple industry sources confirmed the vitriolic content of a letter sent from deputy commissioner Dan Halem to his MLB Players Association equivalent Bruce Meyer, the union\u2019s top negotiator, that accompanied the owners\u2019 latest counter proposal on Friday. The Athletic first reported the biting missive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must have misinterpreted your June 6th letter,\u201d Halem wrote to Meyer. \u201cI thought the letter reflected a willingness on the part of the Association to discuss in good faith the economics necessary for the Office of the Commissioner to waive its right under the March Agreement to resume the 2020 season only when there are, among other things, no restrictions on fan access. After reviewing the Association\u2019s counterproposal, I stand corrected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The primary issue causing the rancor is the disagreement between the players and owners on how much the players should earn during a season held without paying fans, as would be the case for at least the start of this campaign. The aforementioned March agreement guarantees the players prorated pay, yet it also calls for further discussion in the scenario of attendance-free contests.<\/p>\n

The players, who at first app<\/a>eared to either misunderstand or willfully misinterpret the language in the March agreement, now have expressed resolution that they won\u2019t take a further cut because they\u2019re the ones putting themselves in harm\u2019s way and they question the owners\u2019 claims that they\u2019re getting financially slaughtered.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the PA said, \u201cMr. Halem\u2019s self-serving letter is filled with inaccuracies and incomplete facts. We will respond to that and the league\u2019s latest proposal in short order. It should not be forgotten however that even MLB admits that our March Agreement does not require players to agree to further pay cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The owners\u2019 latest proffer includes a 72-game<\/a> schedule with the players receiving 70 percent of their prorated pay and another 10 percent \u2014 plus a $50-million player pool for the participants \u2014 upon completion of the postseason.<\/p>\n

The March agreement empowers commissioner Rob Manfred to unilaterally impose the conditions of a season as long as the players receive their prorated pay. The commissioner has floated the possibility of a season as short as 40-50 games.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
