Can we play baseball... please

Millionaires vs. Billionaires
If Major League Baseball had all of their ducks in a row, they could've been one of the first leagues back after the coronavirus shutdown, instead their going to be one of the last.  Last week, commissioner Rob Manfred came out at said 100% there would be a baseball season and then this week being the spokesperson for the owners that he is backtracked and said he couldn't say 100%.  Both sides have been in stalemate for weeks, with the players wanting the 100% prorated salary that they were promised in March and the owners, who are going to lose money with empty stadiums saying no we don't have to agree to that.  Hopefully for the people who want to see baseball this year that was just a bluff by Manfred (who works for the owners) and the owners to stall until they can only play the number of games that makes sense to them.  The commissioner can with a little negotiation impose a season (48ish games).  I am still hopeful that there will still, probably be a 2020 MLB season, we just have to get both sides talking.  Get Manfred (owners) and Tony Clark (players) to Palm Spring or any social distancing place to negotiate face to face and hash this thing out.  At this point we need someone to do what justice Sonia Sotomayor did to end the strike in 95' and bring the two sides together, maybe someone like a Randy Levine is that person.  As I sat down to write this I heard the two sides did have a face to face meeting and their is a new proposal.  Will the players get more games so that they can get more prorated money or will the owners impose less so that they don't have to play in to November.  I believe there is a deal to be struck here, I don't know when but even though the season got shut down before any revenue sources such as national television contracts could be tapped into, there is postseaseason money, expanded money maybe.  The MLB is losing fans by the day and it will not get better without a deal.
