MLB owners reject MLBPA's 114-game proposal for 2020 season, per report

作者：R.J.Anderson

On Sunday, the MLB Players Association submitted a proposal to Major League Baseball for a 2020 season that would include, among other aspects, a 114-game regular season and expanded playoffs. It took the league a few days to respond, but on Wednesday owners rejected the union's proposal and said they would not send a counteroffer, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

週日會議，工會提出了一份114場比賽與延長季後賽的計畫。但被老闆們打槍，而且將不會以此為主體進行討價還價。

The owners are said to want a shorter regular season, perhaps as short as 50 or 60 games, with an emphasis on getting to the postseason quickly. The hope is to have the postseason completed before a possible second wave of the novel coronavirus can sweep the country, thus ensuring the league pockets all of themoney from playoff television deals. (The union, as part of its proposal, included the potential for mass deferrals if the postseason was canceled due to arenewed spread of COVID-19.)

老闆們認為應該集中的進行比賽，也許50-60場然後快速的進行季後賽。

藉此完全轉播合約，避免因為祖國的汕液的二次傳播導致大規模停賽

It should be noted that refusing to make a counteroffer is a well-known negotiating tactic, one commonly employed in baseball circles by agent Scott Boras,and that the league's stance does not necessarily mean the 2020 season is endangered. Still, this was eyed as a pivotal week if the two sides wanted to begin play sometime in early July, and so far there's been limited momentum toward a deal.

這是知名經紀人Boras常在談判中使用的戰略，接受或離開桌面。不接受議價。

如果雙方有共識在7月開賽，本週將會是關鍵的一週。但目前為止，雙方互相妥協的動力相當有限。

Earlier this week, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that commissioner Rob Manfred would be willing to force a shortened season with prorated salaries if the twosides could not strike an agreement. That season would be about half as long as the players' desired length.

早些時候，ESPN一篇由Passan的報導指出，Rob Manfred專員表示，若雙方沒辦法達成共識，將會強硬的縮減賽期，縮短幅度只有球員希望的一半（也就是11x變50-60）

While the sides remain apart on the money and season length, it appears they're closer than not when it comes to the health component. Indeed, the players are expected to get "much of what they want on health and safety," according to SNY's Andy Martino.

雖然雙方對賽季長度與薪資沒有共識，但對安全防範上卻有相同立場，

SNY的Martino表示 至少球員能夠得到他們希望的健康與安全

Originally, the league had sent the union a 67-page proposal that laid out its vision for testing and safety protocols. That document included guidelines on travel, clubhouse arrangement, and players' etiquette when on the road. The union subsequently offered revisions, with players reportedly wanting more access to workout and recovery equipment.

最初，聯盟提出了67頁提案，主要是維護大家的安全，包含移動時的規範與準備。工會則提出修改意見，希望更大程度的讓球員使用訓練設施

MLB had originally intended to launch its season on March 26.Two weeks prior,the league was forced to hit pause, alongside every other in-season professional sports league, due to the spread of COVID-19.

原本MLB預計在3/26開季，但如同其他職業運動，他們被迫暫停了本賽季，因為武漢肺炎

目前最嚴謹的方式應該是球員及家屬一起住進封閉專區 隔離完成後開始密集比賽 比賽全部打完之前不開放進出 在沒有觀眾的前提 應該足夠安全
