So the owners have given the players their latest proposal and the players have reportedly rejected it. So no baseball in 2020?

At most they probably have until the end of this week to salvage any type of respectable season.

I think the owners are willing to give more, but are obviously lowballing. I wonder if they can bridge the big sticking point, which is guaranteed playoff money by offering a straight 75 or going up to 80% of pro-rated, and if the postseason is lost, pay what is in the current proposal (50%) and defer the rest so the players eventually get the full pro-rated amount regardless of any further disruptions.
