After a lot of back and forth between the league and the MLBPA, a plan for a baseball season has not fully been crystalized. SI's Tom Verducci provides the latest on the 2020 MLB season.

Tom Verducci: Major League Baseball owners have rejected a proposal from the players to play a 114-game season, which would essentially push the World Series all the way to the beginning of December. And the players wanted to be paid on a prorated basis for those 114 games. Now, the owners have floated the idea of playing a 50 game season. Why just 50 games? Well, essentially, they are taking the players at their word that they will only accept the system in which they are paid on a prorated basis by playing 50 games. Players would get about 30 percent of their salaries. 

Now, the owners previous proposal held for an 82-game season with sliding pay cuts that would pay the players essentially 30 percent of their salaries. And before you jump to the conclusion about why bother even playing a season of just 50 games? 

Let's go back to 1981. That was the strike year in which the baseball players strike wiped out two months of the season and split the year into a first half and a second half. The Brewers, the Royals, the Expos, and the Astros all made the playoffs in the second half of that season by playing 53 games. We will take a season any way we can get it.
