    • Less than a week ago Commissioner Rob Manfred said there would “unequivocally be a 2020 season" but he’s changing his tune, saying he’s not confident it will happen.
    • According to ESPN, the chance of no season increased yesterday when the commissioner’s office told the players’ association that it will not proceed with a schedule unless the union waives its right to claim that management violated a March agreement between the feuding sides.
    • Manfred said the players association’s “decision to end good-faith negotiations” and the need for an agreement with the union on health and safety protocols were really negative.
    • The players were offered a 72-game season and 70% of their salary. They also asked to see the owners financial and that’s where negotiations ended.
