The Major League Baseball Players Association is done negotiating with MLB owners, and the union is ready for the league to implement a 2020 season at whatever length it sees fit.
Hours after news leaked that MLB reportedly reached a new lucrative TV deal with Turner Sports, MLBPA executive director Tony Clark released a statement.

Clark closed the statement with this:
"As a result, it unfortunately appears that further dialogue with the league would be futile. It's time to get back to work. Tell us when and where."

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred has the power to impose a season of around 50 games, based on the March agreement between MLB owners and the MLBPA.
The Players Association has told the league it wants a response by the end of business on Monday.
Union negotiator Bruce Meyer, in a letter to deputy commissioner Dan Halem, says, “We demand you inform us of your plans by close of business on Monday, June 15.” Meyer adds “there remain several open issues that will need to be addressed soon” on health and safety protocols.

Nearly three hours after the union's statement, the league responded:

"We will evaluate the Union’s refusal to adhere to the terms of the March Agreement, and after consulting with ownership, determine the best course to bring baseball back to our fans," the league wrote.
Earlier this week, St. Louis Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt Jr. said baseball isn't a very profitable sport, so the news of the TV deal with Turner didnt sit well with players, including Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford.
If Manfred implements a season, the Giants and A's likely would begin "Spring Training 2.0" in the Bay Area before playing regular season games.
