Major League Baseball and the players union are moving towards an agreement on a 60-game season starting July 19 with the players receiving their full-pro-rated salaries, according to two high-ranking executives with direct knowledge of the proposal.
They spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations.
The end of the stalemate was triggered when commissioner Rob Manfred flew to Phoenix on Tuesday night for a one-on-one meeting with union executive director Tony Clark, which Manfred confirmed in a statement Wednesday.
