Pirates President Travis Williams believes PNC Park will host Major League Baseball games this summer.

Speaking Monday on a Pittsburgh Technology Council webcast, Williams explained his reasoning while discussing a few different topics relative to the Pirates and business of baseball.

“I’m confident just because I think reasonable minds will prevail,” Williams said. “They always do in these situations. These are unfortunate times for a lot of people in the world.

“We all understand that we’re going to be taking on losses, whether we’re talking about players or organizations. But at the end of the day, reasonable minds will prevail. We’ll be able to find common ground.”

Williams said he and others on the ownership side were still “parsing through” the proposal the MLB Players Association made on Sunday afternoon, one that includes a 114-game schedule and allows them to keep roughly 70% of their salaries.

On Monday, Williams acknowledged that both sides must come together soon because there isn’t much appetite for this sort of back-and-forth right now.
