MLB offers 76-game season, playoffs rise up to 16 teams

Major League Baseball has made another try to start the coronavirus-delayed season in early July, proposing a 76-game regular season, expanding the playoffs from 10 teams to as many as 16 and allowing players to earn about 75% of their prorated salaries. MLB's latest proposal would guarantee 50% of players' prorated salaries over the regular season, according to details obtained by The Associated Press. The proposal would eliminate all free-agent compensation for the first time since the free-agent era started in 1976.
