(SportsRadio 610) -- When Astros star infielder Alex Bregman spoke with reporters during a charitable event last Friday, he was unsure but hopeful Major League Baseball would have a season in 2020.
He did not appear particularly optimistic, but Bregman and his teammates are still preparing as if games will be played.
"I don't know," Bregman said when asked if there would be a season. "I hope so. I want to play. I love baseball. That's all I want to do, play baseball. That's it."
Bregman, Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve are among the Astros players who live in Houston taking advantage of the access to Minute Maid Park for limited workouts.
Bregman said he does not know what will happen, but will be "ready to rock" once an agreement is reached between MLB and the Players Association.
On Monday, ESPN's Karl Ravech reported owners are proposing a 76-game season with player salaries prorated at 75 percent.
The proposal, like the others before it, has been condemned by the MLBPA.
The MLBPA argues the offer shifts greater emphasis on risk sharing in the postseason and layers would receive 50 percent of prorated salaries if there is no postseason, and 75 percent if there is a postseason, according to Evan Drellich of The Athletic.
The league can unilaterally determine the length of the season with prorated salaries, as per the terms of an agreement reached with the players union in March. The owners, however, appear intent on renegotiating salaries because of an expected steep decline in attendance, Jeff Passan of ESPN reported.
