MLB?s proposal is actually a $1 billion pay cut from prorated salaries.
Major League Baseball offered a $1 billion pay cut masked as a system where higher paid players take larger cuts. It is no surprise that the sliding scale proposal was shot down as soon as it was offered.

THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers another way for readers to weigh in on a relevant topic. So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our baseball-lovin? and starvin? and pleadin? for the crack of the bat peeps.

Today, we center the discussion on proposals for length of season should the 2020 season take place.

As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!

MLB owners and the Players Association are currently exploring the details that would bring baseball back this year. Several proposals are being offered by both sides in terms of the length of the season. All of them have advantages as well as risks. A few of them offer greater validation of a season and championship. Others, less risk of a second-wave of Covid-19 interrupting and cancelling the rest of the season.

Please participate in the poll in order to share which proposal that you support.
Which proposal below of the number of games that may be played do you believe will work the best?

1. 60-65
2. 80
3. 100
4. Not sure
5. None
Vote.
