Marcus Stroman on Tuesday expressed doubt about the 2020 MLB season taking place.
Stroman tweeted that the season was “not looking promising.” He still said he was staying ready and staying positive.
Stroman’s comments come the same day the MLBPA expressed disappointment in its negotiations with MLB over player salaries in a shortened season. Perhaps his tweets are part of a negotiating tactic.
Stroman is entering his second season with the Mets after being traded to New York by the Toronto Blue Jays last season. The 29-year-old is set to earn $12 million this year, although that will likely be reduced if the shortened season takes place. Stroman can become a free agent next year, whether there is a season or not. He went 10-13 with a 3.22 ERA last season.
