MLB owners approved a plan Monday to restart the suspended MLB season by early July. However, Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) has concerns surrounding hazardous workplace conditions and unfair compensation models emerged as concerns among MLB players and personnel. Previously, the MLBPA agreed to a prorated salary model determined by the number of games played during the abbreviated 2020 season. However, restrictions on travel and mass gatherings at the federal, state and local levels has made the plan ineffective as under current regulations owners will have to forgo approximately 40% of team revenue due to lost gate earnings. The MLBA executive director has hinted that the MLBPA will most likely deny the new plan approved by the MLB owners.
