Really good article that breaks down how ugly this negotiation is going to get and how it could end up in a missed season altogether. Also point some of the changes we would see rule wise in a shortened season.
Quote:
In broad terms:
• A 50-50 split of revenue from the 2020 season
• An 82-game schedule instead of the standard 162
• A mid-June "spring training" and early-July opening day
• A 14-team postseason rather than the typical 10
• Games played in home stadiums where allowed
• Designated hitters in the American and National League
• Games against only divisional and regional opponents -- i.e., AL West teams play AL West and NL West teams
• Expanded rosters from 26 to as many as 30 active players with a 20-man taxi squad of minor league players and prospects
• No fans in stadiums to begin the season
