The Major League Baseball owners submitted their first proposal to the Players Association regarding their financial hope for the season.
The players have already agreed to pro-rated versions of their salaries for 2020 and do not want to take any less than that, while the owners want to save as much money as possible since no fans will be present in the stands.
The league yesterday attempted to take money away from the biggest players in the league while still keeping the less-compensated players more afloat.
Here’s what it looks like:
Potential salary cuts in MLB plan, sources tell @JesseRogersESPN and me:
Full-year Proposal
$563.5K $262K
$1M $434K
$2M $736K
$5M $1.64M
$10M $2.95M
$15M $4.05M
$20M $5.15M
$25M $6.05M
$30M $6.95M
$35M $7.84M— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) May 26, 2020
So Mike Trout, set to make $37 million this year, could make under $10 million under the owners plans.
What do you think of that? We’ll discuss on ‘The Huddle’ today from 3-6 PM.
