There is no Win-Win approach here at all, imo.
The Million $$$ Question isn't only when is the Season going to start, it's a big how will it start, who's going to get paid what. Who's going to be allowed in the Stadiums, cardboard cutouts e.g. S. Korean Baseball style?
With a 50/50 proposed revenue sharing, and with the loss of at least 40% of all revenue, wtf is the 2020 Season even going to look like?
Players are weighing in on the proposal...

"Y’all gotta understand, for me to take a pay cut is not happening because the risk is through the roof, it’s a shorter season and less pay,” Snell said. “Bro, I’ve got to get my money. I’m not playing unless I get mine. That’s just the way it is for me. I’m sorry if you guys think differently but if the risk is higher and the amount of money I’m making is way lower, why would I think about doing that? I’m sorry." (Blake Snell)

“[Snell] was probably a little bold in what he said, but we’ve already made a pay concession,” Kershaw said on the Dan Patrick Show on Friday. “We’re going to get paid prorated based on the season—we play 81 games, we are going to get half our pay. We agreed to that already, and I know guys kind of thought that was what we decided as a union. Obviously, with no fans, it changes things for some owners, but we’re still playing the same game.” (Clayton Kershaw)

“From a player’s standpoint, I want 100 percent of my salary for every game played – but unfortunately, these are unprecedented times. And the owners’ 50/50 split is not unreasonable. If you really think about where the finances of baseball have gone, the players are actually getting less than 50 percent of the revenue from the sport in a regular season. If we didn’t have a pandemic this year and played 162 games, the players would have actually gotten less than 50 percent. So the owners, themselves, they’re making the best offer they can make, and I think it’s a very reasonable offer.
"I think players need to understand, just this one time – one time in the history of the union, since Curt Flood, they can bend a little bit and say ‘you know what, we’re going to do what’s best for the sport, what’s best for the country. There’s people out there that are risking their lives on the front lines. There are people that are losing their jobs, losing their savings. And we know this might not be a great deal for us, but it’s better than sitting at home and not playing baseball at all.'” (Mark Teixeria)

The owners believe they will lose about $125 million a team if no season is played and about $100 million during the regular season if they played with no fans. The risk is if they sustain those losses during the regular season and the postseason was abruptly cancelled, it could lead several owners to possible bankruptcy.
The players will lose everything but the $280,000 they’ll have received by May 24 if there is no season. But if they agree to a pay cut, they believe they’ll be losing their rights and leverage in upcoming talks with their collective bargaining agreement expiring on Dec. 1, 2021.
Your Thoughts anyone? ...
