On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary pod:

#1 The MLB Players has offered a counter proposal to MLB asking the league to extend the regular season from 81 games to 114 games so that they can get more than the 50% pay that the owners are offering them.

#2 If accepted by the owners the regular season would start on July 4th and end on October 31st. The union said that pay deferrals would be considered in the event the playoffs and World Series are canceled.

#3 As we have discussed if the players and owners can’t come to a resolution and cancel the season due to money could baseball very well in fact lose countless fans?

#4 The Kansas City Royals owner John Heyman and general manager Dayton Moore said they will not cut minor leaguers pay and that they will receive all of their pay through August 31st the end of the regular season. They also said that after August 31st they will not release or cut any minor leaguers and keep them in the organization.

#5 Amaury with Robo umpires coming how much will it change the game, baseball says their trying to reach out to the younger fan using graphics and robo umpire calls to decide balls and strikes. On plays at the plate like a bang bang play the base umpires can call for a replay review.
