MLB OWNERS HAVE APPROVED A PROPOSAL TO PRESENT TO PLAYERS ON PLAN TO GET BACK ON THE FIELD BY EARLY JULY. MLB EXECS AND NION OFFICIALS WILL MEET FOR NEGOTIATIONS. MONEY IS EXPECTED TO BE THE BIGGEST STICKING POINT. OWNERS EXPECT TO LOSE AROUND 40% OF REVENUES WITH NO FANS BUYING TICKETS, THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE LOSS WITH THE PLAYERS. THE PLAYERS UNION IS NOT EXPECTED TO ACCEPT THAT WITHOUT A FIGHT.
