Tim Kurkjian Baseball Fix - The magic of box scores and how an obsession was born
The box score, while read over a cup of coffee or a Diet Mountain Dew, is the perfect start to the morning for many baseball fans. It often tells the story of the game, but there is so much there, especially if you know what you're looking for.

It's not just the 2020 season at stake, but the future of MLB
Many of the folks inside baseball but outside of the Zoom labor negotiations assume that, eventually, cooler heads will prevail in the talks between the owners and the players' union. Because they have to -- right? Because the alternative -- no attempted restart of baseball in 2020 because of a failure of the two sides to agree to terms -- bears catastrophic consequences, now and in the sport's future. The leaders on both sides have to see that -- right? But here we are, in a countdown to utter disaster for Major League Baseball, and sources of moderation on both sides are having difficulty identifying the path through which the parties will leave their respective bunkers to reach the agreement the industry must have. As distasteful as the terms might be for the owners and players, they should all recognize that while concern over player and staff safety could ultimately prevent games from being played, they must settle the question of player compensation -- whatever form that takes -- and shake hands on the deal and smile for the cameras. (Actually, please be sure to get it in writing that everybody acknowledges -- more later on how the failure to do that has contributed to the current stalemate.)

MLB rejects 114-game plan, tells union no counteroffer
While management has suggested it could play a short regular season of about 50 games with no more salary reductions, it has not formally proposed that concept. Earlier this week, multiple players told ESPN that they would not abide a shorter schedule, with one saying, "We want to play more games, and they want to play less. We want more baseball."

Inside MLB's financials fight -- and the numbers to solve it
First, we must start with two true premises.
1. MLB is willing to pay players a full prorated share of their salaries over a 48-game season.
2. The MLBPA is willing to play an 82-game season at a full prorated share of players' salarie

MLB players say teams 'depriving America of baseball games'
Players accused MLB teams of "depriving America of baseball games" as part of a money fight set off by the coronavirus pandemic and raised the possibility baseball commissioner Rob Manfred might push ahead with a shortened season over the union's objection. Bruce Meyer, the Major League Baseball Players Association's chief negotiator, sent a letter to deputy MLB commissioner Dan Halem on Friday threatening that an attempt to play without an agreement could lead players to block any attempt to expand the playoffs and deny consent for neutral-site games in the postseason. "The league's cynical tactic of depriving America of baseball games in furtherance of their demand for unwarranted salary concessions is shortsighted and troubling," Meyer wrote. "Meanwhile, other leagues are moving forward with their plans for resumption." Meyer's letter was first reported by The Athletic, and a copy was obtained by The Associated Press.

Way-too-early 2021 MLB draft rankings
The 2021 draft class is pretty solid at the top, with an SEC-heavy flavor and players with whom scouts have multiple years of high-level history. This is subject to change, even later today.

Union delivers 70-game plan to MLB in counterproposal
Both MLB and the union proposed starting the season on July 19, and players said it should end Sept. 30, three days later than management. Citing Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, MLB does not want to extend playing deeper into the autumn.
Major leaguers commit $1M to support minor leaguers
While MLB and the union are trying to reach an agreement to start the big league season in empty ballparks, minor leagues don't have large broadcast contracts and have not announced any plans to take the field.
