Not every baseball player fears the 2020 season will be canceled.

Former Yankees reliever and current Cardinal Andrew Miller, a prominent member of the players union, told The Athletic on Tuesday that “while I’m disappointed in where MLB is starting the discussion, if this is truly about getting the game to our fans, I have confidence we will find common ground. I know that our players will do their part.”

Miller added, “We want to play baseball. This pandemic is going to have a profound impact on all of us. Players are willing to make sacrifices and surely will to get back on the field. However, we will not sacrifice our principles or the future generations of players to do so.”

Miller and his peers walked away from Tuesday’s meeting with the league unhappy after MLB offered a financial plan that included a pay cut scale in which the highest-paid players would be hit the hardest.

The players have been adamant that they shouldn’t have to take any pay cuts, citing an agreement in March that stipulated players receive their prorated, per-game salaries if and when the season began. The owners, however, say that agreement included a provision that the two sides renegotiate those terms should games be played without fans, which would be the case because of the coronavirus pandemic.

MLB and the players would likely need to reach an agreement on the 2020 season within the next couple of weeks if it is to hold its second spring training in mid-June and then begin the regular season in July, as the league has hoped for.

Miller, who is part of the union’s eight-man executive subcommittee, has a two-year contract worth $25 million ($12.5 million annually). Under the league’s latest proposal, the 35-year-old Miller would be paid around $3.75 million in an 82-game season.

While Miller, who has earned $61 million in 14 seasons, might be willing to reduce his pay “to find common ground,” others have taken big swings at the idea.

Blake Snell, the Tampa Bay Rays Cy Young Award winner in 2018, two weeks ago said that he would sit out the season if there were pay cuts.

“For me to take a pay cut is not happening,” Snell said. “The risk is through the roof, it’s a shorter season, less pay.”

Snell’s comments were made when MLB wanted to split up the revenue 50-50, which the players have long objected to because they fear it would lead to a salary cap and less pay overall.

The 27-year-old Snell signed a five-year, $50 million extension with the Rays just over a year ago.

Milwaukee Brewers lefty starter Brett Anderson tweeted that the pay scale may make the higher-paid players look like “the bad guys,” should they oppose it. Anderson makes $5 million per year, so he wouldn’t be one of the “bad guys.”

Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman seemed less optimistic than Miller following Tuesday’s meeting, saying “this season is not looking promising.”
