In an memo to players today, the MLBPA said it is weighing the timing and substance of a potential response to MLB’s proposal that “sought additional paycuts of more than $800M that it contends are necessary to make it economically feasible to play games without fans.” 1/2

NY Post Joel Sherman: Baseball needs an adult to step up and stop this madness. “It should start with you, Commissioner Rob Manfred. A statement can be this simple: If the political and medical worlds give their blessings, we are playing regular season major league baseball beginning July 3, continuing through the Independence Day weekend and — we hope — going without interruptions until there is a World Series. Period. End of statement.”The MLBPA’s memo to players also states, “Importantly, the union still awaits key documents from MLB that would support the dubious financial distress claims the league has made in its attempt to force the additional givebacks from players.” 2/2

New York Mets purchased Frank Lary from the Detroit Tigers on May 30, 1964.

The Mets complete their first-ever
triple play when shortstop Elio Chacon snags Willie Davis's liner, (1) who
flips the ball to Charlie Neal to double off Maury Wills at second base (2),
and the third out coming on a ball thrown to Gil Hodges, catching Jim Gilliam
off first base (3). The expansion team will be the victim of the only other
triple killing this season when Joe Pignatano, in his final major league
at-bat, pops out to Cubs second baseman Ken Hubbs, who starts a 4-3-6 play to
end the eighth inning in the season finale played a Wrigley Field.

Frank Thomas strokes a double off
Sandy Koufax in the Mets' 13-6 loss to Los Angeles, extending his franchise
mark of consecutive games with a hit to 18 for the expansion team. The
streak, which will be only one shy of Maury Wills' league-leading total for
the season, is halted when the New York left fielder goes 0-for-4 in the
nightcap of the Dodgers' sweep at the Polo Grounds.

The Mets become the first team to
have three players appear in a game whose last name begins with a lower case
'd, when Travis d'Arnaud, Jacob deGrom, and Matt den Dekker all play in the
Mets' 6-5 walk-off loss to Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. After having
to use an upside-down capital 'P' on d'Arnaud's jersey last season due to
lack of lower case letters, New York equipment manager Kevin Kierst asked
Majestic, MLB's uniform supplier, to make 'small' uniform letters available,
knowing there would be even more of a need this season.

Major league baseball better settle, because we won't riot, burn, and loot over it - we'll just watch Netflix and come up with other hobbies, and remember the days when we used to enjoy baseball.
How can anyone not love this? Maybe Cano can follow suit: Dodgers pitcher David Price will pay $1,000 out of his own money to each Dodgers minor leaguer who is not on the 40-man roster during the month of June.
Good for Oakland As - they are buying themselves long-lasting good will.
Hard to think that TJ Rivera and his .304 career average could be over.
Wise comment about moving fast on the draft.
It won't happen fast enough, if ever.
