MLB Eyes $640K Loss Per Game Sans Fans

Major League Baseball is expected to lose an average of $640,000 per game this season due to empty ballparks.

Teams say the proposed method of saving a season delayed by the coronavirus outbreak would still cause a $4 billion loss, and would give major league players 89% of revenue which is why owners propose salaries be based on a 50-50 split of revenue.
