After the MLB Players Association said on Monday that it has rejected the latest proposal from baseball owners to resume play, MLB says it is ready to move forward with framework that the players and owners agreed to shortly after the season was postponed in March.
MLB is now asking if players will be able to report on July 1 for training camp, and if the players will agree to health and safety protocols imposed by MLB. MLB is giving the players’ union until tonight (Tuesday night) to respond.
MLB said that the proposal rejected by players included the expansion of the MLB playoffs and a universal DH.

The players union has complained that the league is attempting to play the fewest number of games possible.
Sources say commissioner Rob Manfred has decided to schedule a 60-game season beginning in late July.
