TCuz Disgraced Rules President
MLB owners sending new proposal to MLBPA this afternoon. No 50/50 split, instead “a sliding pay scale”

Where the players who earn the most taking the biggest cut and smaller cuts for lesser paid players.

 

Although, Nightengale says no 50/50 split, but doesn’t exactly have the details of what it actually entails beyond the above description

 

 

. The plan, three persons with knowledge of the proposal told USA TODAY Sports, does not include the same 50-50 revenue-sharing split the owners agreed on two weeks ago that was never submitted to the union. The three people spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity since they were not authorized to speak publicly due to ongoing negotiations.

The proposal instead includes a sliding scale of compensation, with players earning the most taking the biggest cuts and those earning the least receiving most of their guaranteed salaries.

It remains uncertain how much money the players will be yielding in this proposal, based on no fans in attendance for an 82-game season, after already agreeing to be paid on a pro-rated basis, reducing their pay by almost 50%.

Yet revenue sharing was not referenced at all in the document that was prepared for the union.
