Major League Baseball and the players’ association are willing to modify their financial stances to reach a deal to potentially play a shortened 2020 campaign amid the coronavirus pandemic, reports Chuck Garfien of NBC Sports Chicago.
Additionally, MLB is not expected to propose a full revenue-sharing model, people with knowledge of the league’s plans told Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic.

The MLBPA is expected to counter and ask for prorated salaries based on the number of contests played, and a deferral of money to future seasons to help owners financially in 2020, according to Garfien.
The union may be most amenable to a plan where 2020 salaries are deferred, Rosenthal and Drellich add.
