Players made their move one day after management cut its proposed schedule from 82 games to 76. The players' plan would have the World Series end in mid-to-late November, and players said they would accept MLB's proposal to have the ability to shift postseason games to neutral sites. Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole, the highest-paid players with $36 million salaries, would get $19,777,778 each under the union's plan. A player at the $563,500 minimum would earn $309,577 under the union plan and up to $244,492 from MLB's offer. Players accepted MLB's proposal that high-risk players could opt out of this season while receiving salary and service time, but that other players who opt out would not receive salary or service time.
