I am with union head Tony Clark on this one:

A March 26 deal between the sides stated “the Office of the Commissioner and Players Association will discuss in good faith the economic feasibility of playing games in the absence of spectators or at appropriate substitute neutral sites.” The union points to another passage covering salaries in which players agree to give up 1/162nd of base pay for each regular-season game lost.

“Players recently reached an agreement with Major League Baseball that outlines economic terms for resumption of play, which included significant salary adjustments and a number of other compromises. That negotiation is over,” union head Tony Clark said in a statement Monday.

I take “economic feasibility” to mean, “is it worth it to play with no fans, given the salary to be paid to the players.” If the owners say, no, it’s not worth it, the players might decide to give in on salary. Of course, one way to give in would be to defer salary to brighter days.

My minimum crowd plan would help solve this dilemma.
