Per ESPN:
No deal is done, but with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA executive director Tony Clark having met recently, the latest offer is seen as significant progress considering where the parties were a few days ago.
Under the proposal, the season would begin July 19, sources told Olney, with the 60-game slate containing 10 off-days. Sources on both sides of the negotiations said there is an expectation that further talks will result in a schedule of about 65 games.
The offer would include an expanded playoff format.
"At my request, Tony Clark and I met for several hours yesterday in Phoenix," Manfred said Wednesday. "We left that meeting with a jointly developed framework that we agreed could form the basis of an agreement and subject to conversations with our respective constituents. I summarized that framework numerous times in the meeting and sent Tony a written summary today.
"Consistent with our conversations yesterday, I am encouraging the Clubs to move forward and I trust Tony is doing the same."
Sources told Passan that the players' union would waive its right to file a grievance in the most recent proposal from MLB.
