Brewers’ Brett Anderson rips MLB’s latest return proposal

MLB’s latest proposal didn’t go over well with the union on Tuesday, and one major league pitcher says it didn’t do any favors for the game’s top players.

And he wasn’t referring to the money they will lose in the proposal.

“Interesting strategy of making the best most marketable players potentially look like the bad guys,” Milwaukee Brewers lefty starter Brett Anderson tweeted.

According to The Post’s Joel Sherman, MLB’s latest plan would allow players making the least amount of money to have nearly their entire salary on a prorated basis for games played. But the game’s stars would take the biggest financial hit under this proposal. For example, Gerrit Cole — who is slated to earn #36 million this season and would be making $18 million if his contract were prorated — would receive around $8 million if this proposal passes.

The MLB and the union previously had agreed on March 26 to the players’ salary being pro-rated based on an 82-game schedule, but the league said that agreement also left the door open for further financial negotiations if the games were to be played with no fans in attendance. The union says the pay issue already has been settled. Many believe it’s crucial for both sides to come to a deal this week, if they want to start the season in early July.

Cincinnati Reds starter Trevor Bauer, who has often been outspoken about different issues affecting baseball, didn’t sound pleased about MLB’s latest plan.

“Alright… y’all want another video of my thoughts on this or would you rather I just “shut up and play baseball”??” Bauer tweeted on Tuesday night.

New York Mets starter Marcus Stroman tweeted “this season is not looking promising,” after he heard about the news.
