Major League Baseball has rejected the players’ offer for a 114-game regular and didn’t provide a counteroffer as both sides continue to be far apart.
Players made their proposal Sunday, up from an 82-game regular season in management’s offer last week. Under the players’ proposal Opening Day would be June 30th and the regular season would end October 31st.
But MLB told the union it had no interest in extending the season into November, when it fears a second wave of the coronavirus could disrupt the postseason, and would jeopardize $787 million in broadcast revenue.

The league and owners have suggested it could play a short regular season of about 50-games with no more salary reductions but they have not formally proposed that concept.
