But the big issue is that owners are reportedly seeking a 50-50 revenue-sharing plan, which ties player compensation to league profits. The MLB isn't expecting the players union to accept any recommendation immediately. Multiple people familiar with the discussion said the league gave a presentation to the Major League Baseball Players Association, or MLBPA, on Tuesday. The parties did briefly discuss economics of resuming operations, but the MLB did not submit a formal proposal that's been in the works. The last time MLB owners attempted to install a revenue-sharing system or a salary cap it led to the 1994 strike, which lasted more than seven months.
